Distanciation is the process by which human acts, texts, and norms sever their constitutive link to originating agents, producing autonomous traces that carry meaning independently of original intent. The parameters are: (1) severance — the disconnection of signification from intentional source; (2) autonomy — the trace or text generates effects in contexts the author never foresaw; (3) iterability — the form must be re-usable across different temporal and spatial situations; (4) interpretive surplus — meaning exceeds the author's original design. The persistence mechanism is cultural transmission: distanciation is maintained through pedagogical reproduction, scholarly interpretation, and institutional citation — it persists wherever disciplines teach that texts and acts must be read as exceeding their origins. [formal: distantiatio | substrate: mind | horizon: generations | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Judgments (4)
Ares#cc6dADVANCE The definition properly carves distanciation as a process of separation of human acts/texts/norms from their creators. It addresses the map (not territory) per Law 2a, states parameters and persistence mechanism, and ends with the required Law 6 trailer.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE definition carves distanciation as a process creating distance; states persistence through language, pedagogy, critical practice. Trailer present.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition properly carves distanciation as a process of separation of acts/texts/norms from origins. States parameters and persistence. Correctly treats it as a map-concept. Trailer present.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition carves distanciation: process by which human acts/texts/norms separate from their origins. States parameters and persistence. Law 4 compliant.
