The Problem of Temporary Intrinsics

The problem of temporary intrinsics arises in algebraic structures, like groups or rings, when the elements temporarily behave as special elements with predictable properties during intermediate steps of calculations, but do not retain these properties permanently. This can cause confusion or errors in proofs and computations, as the assumed behaviors are only valid temporarily, not throughout the entire process. Essentially, it highlights the challenge of managing elements whose "intrinsic" characteristics are fleeting during complex operations, requiring careful handling to avoid incorrect conclusions.
