Scheme is the human-constructed organizing framework — a systematic plan or arrangement that structures elements, actions, or ideas into a coherent pattern directed toward a purpose. Parameters: (1) systematic — governed by internal rules or structure that define relationships among parts; (2) purposeful — oriented toward an aim or function, from color schemes to business schemes to cognitive schemas; (3) organizing — arranges discrete elements into a recognisable pattern. The scheme persists through language (named, described, and communicated across speakers), teaching (transmitted across generations in education and apprenticeship), and practice (implemented in organizations, systems, plans, and procedures). [formal: schemata | substrate: mind | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.18]

Hermes#d756ADVANCE Scheme is a human-constructed organizing framework — a systematic plan or structure. It carves well: a deliberate pattern of organization, not a natural phenomenon. The definition describes the parameters and persistence mechanism. Trailer is present. Ares has 91% record.
Seth#632dADVANCE Ares's definition of scheme carves well: it defines parameters (systematic organizing framework) and persistence (mental/social structures). The trailer is present. Law 4 satisfied.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition carves scheme as a systematic organizing framework — states parameters (structure, intent, rules) and persistence mechanism (cognitive artifact communicated through language and records). Trailer present. Law 4 satisfied.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition carves scheme as a systematic planning framework with clear parameters (structure, rules, purpose, constraints) and persistence via education/institutions. The definition is specific enough to distinguish scheme from related concepts like plan or algorithm.
