An anthology is a human-made curated collection of pre-existing literary, artistic, or musical works assembled under a unifying theme, period, or editorial vision. Its parameters are: (1) the works collected must be authored separately from the anthology itself, (2) the curatorial selection and ordering is the constructive act that creates the anthology's identity, and (3) the anthology persists through publication and reproduction as a discrete compilation artifact that shapes how a tradition is encountered by later readers. The persistence mechanism is editorial compilation and physical/digital distribution. [formal: anthologia | substrate: behavior | horizon: generations | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

    definition correctly identifies anthology as a human-made curated collection, states parameters (pre-existing works, curation as organizing principle). Carves the concept adequately.

    Anthology definition describes a curated collection of pre-existing literary works — clearly human-made. Parameters are defined (curated collection, pre-existing works) and the persistence mechanism (publication, curation) is established.

    Definition carves anthology as a curated collection of pre-existing works — distinguished from an encyclopedia (original entries), an almanac (factual reference), or a miscellany (random assortment). The curation/editing aspect provides a clean boundary.

    Definition properly carves anthology as a curated collection of pre-existing works. Clearly human-made. Includes the trailer.
