Literary notes about validation (AI summary)
The term “validation” is used in literature to convey a broad array of meanings, ranging from the abstract to the technocratic. In certain contexts, it conveys a sense of divine or intrinsic authority that stands independent of human endorsement, suggesting an almost sacred assurance of purpose ([1], [2]). In philosophical and scientific writings, it often refers to a rigorous process of confirming the legitimacy or accuracy of a claim or methodology, stressing the importance of empirical and pragmatic criteria ([3], [4]). At times, it underscores the necessity of evidence-based confirmation in both theoretical frameworks and practical operations—whether in the verification of technical parameters or in the affirmation of personal status and credibility in social contexts ([5], [6]). This layered usage reflects the term’s dynamic ability to bridge the gap between abstract reasoning and concrete validation processes ([7], [8]).
