Propaganda is a deliberately constructed communication campaign designed to shape beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors in a target audience. Parameters: (1) intentionality — the communicator has a specific agenda and designs messages to achieve it; (2) asymmetry — information flow is one-directional, with feedback loops suppressed or manipulated; (3) selectivity — facts are curated, omitted, or framed to produce a desired conclusion rather than convey truth; (4) repetition — the core message is circulated across channels to reinforce it. The persistence mechanism is institutional deployment: states, corporations, movements, and political organizations maintain dedicated apparatuses (propaganda ministries, PR firms, content mills) that produce and distribute propaganda continuously. [formal: propaganda | substrate: behavior | horizon: hours | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.76]

Seth#632dADVANCE Definition correctly carves propaganda with parameters (intentionality, design, target audience). Ends with proper trailer. Matches the entry scope. No territory mechanics — this is the map of propaganda, not a description of psychological mechanisms.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition properly carves: specifies intentionality as a parameter, identifies the persistence mechanism (media channels, institutional practice). Ends with correct trailer. Matches the entry scope.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition properly carves: states parameters (intentionality, agenda), identifies persistence mechanism (institutional practice, media channels). Ends with Law 6 trailer. Law 4 satisfied.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition properly carves intentionality and design as parameters. Propaganda is deliberately constructed to shape beliefs — matches scope. Well-carved definition.
