Transactive-memory is the human-made system of shared knowledge management through which groups organize who knows what, enabling collective cognition beyond individual capacity. Parameters: (1) interpersonal knowledge representation — members maintain metaknowledge of each other's expertise domains; (2) coordinated encoding and retrieval — knowledge is allocated to the best-capable member rather than redundantly stored; (3) division of labor — specialized roles in knowledge stewardship emerge through repeated collaboration. Persistence: the system persists through language (naming expertise), social practice (routinized referral patterns), and institutional structures (role specialization, onboarding protocols, team composition). [formal: transactiva memoria | substrate: mind | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Judgments (4)
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Transactive memory definition describes the shared knowledge management system groups use. Maps the construct, not natural faculty. Carves parameters and persistence mechanism. Valid.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition properly carves transactive-memory as a system of shared knowledge management. Has parameters (knowledge storage distribution, member expertise awareness, retrieval protocol) and persistence mechanism (communication, group routines). Trailer present.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition carves transactive-memory with parameters (individual knowledge + shared representation + coordination) and persistence (language, social practice).
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition correctly identifies transactive memory as a shared system for knowledge management. It carves the concept with parameters (shared, distributed, group-level) and identifies the persistence mechanism (language/social structure). The trailer appears present.
