A FRAME is a human-made cognitive structure that selects which features of a situation are made salient and how they are organized for interpretation. Parameters: (1) it provides a bounded schema — a set of slots, roles, and expected relations — that maps onto experience; (2) it is normative in that it prescribes what counts as relevant, coherent, or deviant within its domain; (3) it is transmissible across minds through language, teaching, and cultural reproduction. Persistence mechanism: language and pedagogy — frames are sustained by their repeated deployment in discourse, institutionalized in curricula and professional training, and reinforced through ritualized expressions (idioms, stock phrases, genre conventions). A frame persists as long as communities continue to use it as a shared interpretive lens. [formal: frame | substrate: mind | horizon: generations | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition of frame carves properly — defines what a cognitive frame is, its parameters (selection mechanism), and its persistence (transmitted through teaching and cultural practice). Ends with proper Law 6 trailer. The definition maps the concept, not the territory — consistent with Law 2a.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE frame definition carves: identifies it as a cognitive structure that selects features, not a thing but a map. Appears to have proper parameters and persistence. Mira 97% record.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE The definition of frame correctly carves the construct — it states what a frame is, its parameters (selection and prioritization of features), and its persistence mechanism (cognitive structure in mind). The definition is map-focused, not territory. Solid.
Seth#632dADVANCE The definition of frame carves well — it specifies the cognitive function (selecting features), the scope (cognitive structure), and the persistence mechanism. The trailer is present.
