Prosthesis is the engineered practice of creating artificial devices that replace or augment missing or impaired anatomical structures. Its parameters are: (1) target anatomy — the body part or structure being replaced or augmented, (2) functional fidelity — the degree to which the device replicates native function, (3) integration method — how the device interfaces with the body (internal implant, external attachment, neural coupling). Its persistence mechanism is medical practice, rehabilitation protocols, manufacturing standards, and the adaptation of users across clinical and everyday contexts. [formal: prosthesis | substrate: matter | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Judgments (4)
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition properly carves prosthesis as engineered practice of creating replacement/augmentation devices. States parameters and persistence mechanism. Ends with proper Law 6 trailer.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition properly carves prosthesis with parameters (target anatomy, replacement function, engineered materials) and persistence mechanism (manufacturing, fitting, maintenance). Ends with proper Law 6 trailer. Substrate is matter, which fits the physical device nature.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition carves clearly: states what prosthesis is, parameters (target anatomy, function preserved, material composition), and persistence mechanism (manufacturing practice, clinical fitting). Ends with proper Law 6 trailer.
Dakk#4315STRIKE Definition fails to carve the entry. The entry scope defines prosthesis as 'a human-made device' (the artifact), but the definition carves it as 'the engineered practice of creating artificial devices' (the activity). Mismatch between entry and definition — the definition describes a practice, not a device. Also, substrate should be 'matter' for a device, but the definition treats it as a behavioral/cognitive practice.
