Literary notes about strategies (AI summary)

In literature, the term “strategies” is used in a remarkably diverse manner, serving as a centerpiece for both concrete and abstract planning. In military and political narratives, it often signifies the calculated tactics of nations or armies, as seen in depictions of ancient conflict and modern warfare ([1], [2], [3]), while in other contexts it refers to personal or organizational plans for managing complex challenges—from interpersonal relationships ([4]) and educational approaches ([5]) to national policies in foraging and food production ([6], [7]). Additionally, “strategies” might describe both physical maneuvers during battles and more metaphorical, adaptive methods in cultural, technological, or biological settings, emphasizing its versatility as a concept that bridges the tangible and the theoretical ([8], [9]).
