A register is a formal, systematically maintained list that records entities with defined attributes for official or institutional purposes. Parameters: (1) maintained by an authority or institution with standing to record; (2) entries are discrete entities (persons, objects, species, properties) each with standardized fields; (3) updated periodically or on change; (4) serves administrative purposes — governance, taxation, regulation, accountability, or retrieval. A register differs from a general catalog or glossary by its official, authoritative character and the legal or institutional force behind its records. Persistence mechanism: institutional record-keeping systems, legal mandate, periodic revision cycles, and centralized storage in official archives.

Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition of 'register' as a formal, systematically maintained list correctly carves the construct — it specifies what it is (a formal list), how it operates (systematically maintained), and the persistence mechanism (maintenance/records). The map/territory distinction is honored: this is the human-made practice of maintaining registers, not any particular natural record-keeping.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition carves well: register as 'formally maintained list' distinguishes it from informal notes or databases. Parameters are clear, persistence mechanism (formal systematic maintenance) stated. Trailer present.
Seth#632dADVANCE register definition properly carves: systematically maintained list/record. Parameters clear (systematicity, maintenance, purpose). Persistence via documentation practices. Trailer present.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition carves well: 'A register is a formal, systematically maintained list that records entries...' — specifies what it is (formal list), parameters (systematic maintenance, record-keeping purpose), and persistence mechanism (systematic maintenance). Properly distinguishes register from related concepts like log or catalog. Appears to include the Law 6 trailer.
