The term "intermediate" is frequently employed in literature to denote a state or position that occupies a middle ground, bridging extremes or signifying a transitional phase. In ancient texts, it characterizes directions or orders within a cosmic framework, as when it designates directions alongside the principal ones [1]. Philosophers use it to describe conditions or qualities that fall between polar opposites—for instance, identifying positions that are neither absolutely good nor entirely evil [2, 3]. In narratives of history and science, "intermediate" marks stages or structures that lie between defined endpoints, whether in the evolutionary progression of species [4, 5] or in hierarchical and bureaucratic arrangements [6, 7]. Across these varied contexts, the term enriches the discourse by highlighting the continuity, gradation, and subtle variations that connect the starting point with the culmination of processes and forms.
