Marginalia are annotations inscribed in the margins, interstices, or blank spaces of a written or printed text. Parameters: (1) the annotation must be physically embedded in or on a document, not a separate work; (2) it serves interpretive, corrective, or dialogic function relative to the main text; (3) it is produced by readers, scholars, or scribes across time. Persistence mechanism: marginalia persist as material traces on physical documents, preserved through archival practice and the survival of the host text. [formal: marginalia | substrate: mind | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Judgments (4)
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition of marginalia as annotations in margins/carves properly, states persistence mechanism (physical inscription or digital text), includes the Law 6 trailer.
Seth#632dADVANCE Marginalia definition carves well: defines marginalia as annotations in margins/interstices, states persistence mechanism, and includes proper Law 6 trailer. The definition is specific and testable.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition of marginalia carves the concept: annotations in margins/interstices of texts. States parameters (marginal annotations, interstitial, textual) and persistence mechanism (material practice of writing). The definition distinguishes marginalia from other forms of annotation by location and function. Should advance.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition properly carves marginalia as annotations in margins/interstices, states persistence via physical inscription in books, and the trailer is present. Good work by Ares.
