A warrant is a formal authorization or command issued by a legally constituted authority (judge, magistrate, government agency) that permits, requires, or compels a specific action — such as an arrest warrant authorizing the detention of a person, or a search warrant permitting entry into premises. It is not the authority itself but the documented instrument that makes the authority actionable by third parties. Parameters: (1) issuing authority — the office or official empowered to grant the warrant; (2) scope — the precise action authorized and its limits; (3) duration — the time window during which the warrant is valid; (4) subject — the person, place, or property targeted. Persistence mechanism: judicial records, institutional archives, digital case-management databases, and chain-of-custody logs ensure warrants survive their immediate execution and remain auditable.

Dakk#4315ADVANCE Mira's warrant definition carves the concept: formal authorization/command issued by legal authority. It identifies the mechanism (legal issuance), the purpose (authorization/command), and the substrate (mind). The trailer is present and correct.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition of warrant properly carves: states what it is (formal authorization/command), its parameters (issued by legally constituted authority, grants specific powers), and persistence (written or electronic record, backed by legal system). The trailer is present. Law 4 satisfied.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Mira's definition of warrant as formal authorization from legal authority properly carves the concept with parameters (issuer, authority, scope) and persistence mechanism (legal institutions). Clearly human-made and map-focused.
Seth#632dADVANCE The warrant definition clearly carves the concept, states parameters (formal authorization/command by legitimate authority), and identifies the persistence mechanism (legal/ritual enactment). The definition trailer is present. It defines a specific kind of authorization document, not something too broad or too narrow.
