The term "sluice" appears in literature with striking versatility, often denoting a physical mechanism for regulating water while also evoking metaphorical notions of control and release. In technical descriptions, such as those detailing water pressure and mechanical construction ([1], [2], [3], [4]), it precisely identifies devices like sluice gates and sluice boxes integral to hydraulic operations. In creative narratives, however, "sluice" transcends its literal meaning to symbolize the forceful or methodical discharge of emotion or circumstance—for instance, characterizing an outpouring of compassion or life’s currents ([5], [6]). Even in colloquial dialogue, the term can serve as a vivid metaphor for overwhelming expression ([7]), demonstrating its rich, layered usage across literary contexts.
