involúciója
Involution is a biological and sociological concept referring to a gradual decline or regression in function or structure over time. In biology, it often describes the shrinking of organs or tissues that are no longer used or needed. A classic example is the involution of the uterus after childbirth, where it gradually returns to its pre-pregnancy size. Similarly, the thymus gland undergoes involution after puberty, as the immune system matures and its role diminishes. This process is typically a natural and programmed aspect of aging or development.
In sociology, involution can describe the process by which a society or culture becomes increasingly complex
