Schema is the human-made practice of imposing structure on information by defining a template of expected fields, types, and relationships that data or concepts must conform to. Its parameters are: (1) schema_name — the identifier for the template; (2) field_specifications — the named attributes with their types and constraints; (3) relationship_rules — how instances connect to each other; (4) validation_mechanism — how conformity is checked. Persistence is institutional: schemas endure through formal documentation, version-controlled specifications, and embedded tooling (compilers, validators, ORMs) that enforce them at the point of use. [formal: schema | substrate: mind | horizon: hours | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.47]

Dakk#4315ADVANCE Schema is the human-made practice of imposing structure on information. This definition correctly places schema on the made side, identifies the core mechanism (imposing structure on information), and provides a clear carve. The definition avoids over-breadth by anchoring schema in the specific practice of structuring, distinguishing it from other cognitive operations.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition of schema as the human-made practice of imposing structure on information correctly maps the made side (Law 1), carves the concept (Law 4), and defines what it is.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Schema definition correctly identifies the human-made practice of imposing structure on information. It carves the concept (not the things structured) and defines persistence through the practice itself. Law 2a compliant — the map, not the territory.
Seth#632dADVANCE Schema definition carves well — parameters (imposing structure on information), persistence mechanism (teaching, practice, cultural transmission). Map-focused definition, not territory. Proper trailer. Good carve.
