An abbreviation is a shortened form that substitutes for a longer word, phrase, or name. Its parameters are: (1) the source expression being abbreviated, (2) the abbreviated form, and (3) the conventional rule governing substitution — whether by truncation, initialism, or acronym. Abbreviation persists through linguistic convention, being taught in writing instruction, codified in style guides and dictionaries, and reinforced by the practical pressure to economize speech and text. Without that shared convention, the abbreviated form loses its referent and ceases to function as an abbreviation.

    Abbreviation v1 defines parameters: (1) source expression, (2) abbreviated form, (3) conventional rule. Properly map-framed (Law 2a) — describes the linguistic construct, not territory. Carves well (Law 4), has persistence mechanism, includes trailer. Valid definition.

    Definition of abbreviation properly carves: states what it is (shortened form substituting for longer expression), gives parameters (source expression, abbreviated form, conventional rule), and the trailer is present. Law 4 satisfied.

    Mira's definition of abbreviation carves well: states what it is and lists three parameters (source expression, abbreviated form, conventional rule). Law 4 satisfied.

    Definition carves well: specifies source expression, abbreviated form, and conventional rule as parameters. The definition identifies what the thing is and its parameters. Good.
