Explanation
Repeated performance of a form or operation in which each pass may change the context. It treats repetition as progressive revision rather than mere copying.
Example
The draft is reviewed and changed in every round.
Counterexample
Merely mentioning “Iteration” without the described function is not a sufficient example.
Distinction
Do not equate it with a narrower subtype or a merely adjacent concept; the defining function is decisive.
Effect on thought and perception
It treats repetition as progressive revision rather than mere copying.
Resonance
In the atlas, Iteration forms a node joined by 2 previously unresolved reference lines.
Etymology
Technical core term; individual etymological review pending
Provenance
Unresolved relation network → second core-concept review → Metzler/HWRh cross-check → ATLAS 239
