önterjedés

önterjedés is a Hungarian term that roughly translates to "self-propagation" or "self-spreading." It is often used in contexts related to phenomena that grow or expand without external impetus, driven by their own internal mechanisms or characteristics.

The concept can be applied to various fields. In natural sciences, önterjedés might describe the way a fire spreads through dry brush, fueled by the burning material itself. It can also refer to the spread of certain biological organisms or diseases where the rate of reproduction or infection leads to rapid expansion. In a more abstract sense, önterjedés can be used to explain how ideas or trends gain momentum and become widespread within a society, often through social networks or collective behavior.

The core idea behind önterjedés is that the process contains the seeds of its own continuation and growth. This implies a certain degree of autonomy in the expansion, where the phenomenon alters its environment or creates conditions that facilitate further spread. Understanding önterjedés often involves analyzing the feedback loops and intrinsic dynamics that enable this self-sustaining growth. The term emphasizes the inherent capacity for expansion within the phenomenon itself, rather than relying on constant external forces to drive its increase.
