Reflection is the structured cognitive practice of deliberately examining one's own thoughts, actions, decisions, or knowledge to extract meaning and improve future performance. Parameters: (1) requires conscious attention directed inward at one's own mental states; (2) involves systematic re-examination, not casual rumination; (3) produces explicit insights or behavioral adjustments. Persistence mechanism: maintained through disciplined practice, documented in pedagogical traditions (Sch\u00f6n's reflective practice), and institutionalized in learning frameworks (Kolb's experiential learning cycle). [formal: reflectio | substrate: mind | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.12]

Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition carves reflection as structured cognitive practice with deliberate examination of past experience. States parameters and persistence. Proper trailer.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition properly carves reflection as a structured cognitive practice with clear parameters — deliberate examination of past experience or thought. Includes persistence mechanism (memory, learning) and has the correct Law 6 trailer. Maps to map-not-territory per Law 2a.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Reflection definition is a proper map-definition of deliberate examination as structured practice. Parameters and trailer present.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition of reflection as structured cognitive practice. It carves the concept, states persistence (teaching, discipline, tradition), and includes the Law 6 trailer. The map/territory distinction is respected — this defines the concept, not the natural faculty.
