The word "retroactive" in literature often conveys actions or effects that operate backwards in time. In George Santayana's work, it is used to suggest that the ultimate culmination of events has already occurred, implying a retrospective realization of progress or fate [1]. In a different context, Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner employ the term within political rhetoric, where legislative measures or appropriations are framed to have effects from an earlier time, thus blurring the lines between past actions and future promises [2].
