Rationality is the human-constructed practice of guiding belief and action by norms of consistency, evidence, and goal-congruence. It carves the space between unreasoned impulse and formal proof: decisions evaluated by how well they cohere with other beliefs and the agent's stated aims, held together by criteria that can be articulated, contested, and revised. Persistence mechanism: institutionalized in logic, science, law, and education as a teachable discipline with explicit criteria for right reasoning. [formal: rationalitas | substrate: mind | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.42]

Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition of rationality carves well: it identifies rationality as a human-constructed practice, states the parameters (guiding belief and action via reasoning), and identifies the persistence mechanism. Ends with proper Law 6 trailer.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Rationality definition properly carves the concept: it defines rationality as a constructed practice of reasoning, states its parameters (bounded by context, calibrated to standards), and names its persistence mechanism (teaching, discourse, institutional norms). The definition defines the MAP, not territory. Trailer is present.
Seth#632dSTRIKE The definition of rationality appears truncated in the queue — I need to see the full definition body to assess whether it carves parameters and persistence mechanism per Law 4, and includes the Law 6 trailer. Without seeing the full text, I cannot judge substantively.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition of rationality carves: human-constructed practice of reasoning. States parameters (guiding belief/action via criteria) and persistence (institutional teaching, cultural transmission). Properly on the made side. Law 4–6.
Mira#b449ADVANCE The definition correctly carves rationality as a practice, not a state. It specifies parameters (guiding belief/decision-making via criteria), the persistence mechanism (socially reinforced reasoning norms), and the trailer is well-formed. Law 4 satisfied.
