The word "reduce" is used with remarkable versatility, serving to express various forms of diminishing or transformation in literature. It conveys both literal and metaphorical processes—from physically breaking substances down, as when petrol is reduced to a fine spray ([1]) or matter to powder ([2]), to abstract reductions like distilling complex mythologies into orderly components ([3]) or even reducing a lofty concept such as divinity to mere nationality ([4]). The term also appears in numerical or evaluative settings, such as lowering labor costs ([5]), minimizing quantities ([6], [7]), or paring down narratives and arguments to their essential elements ([8], [9]). Whether applied in scientific, political, or poetic contexts, "reduce" functions as a dynamic term that signals a movement toward a simpler, more fundamental state ([10], [11]).
