Coda is a distinct concluding section of a composition that extends past the expected structural endpoint to provide closure. Its parameters are: (1) a preceding main body of the composition, (2) a clearly demarcated final section that extends beyond the normative ending point, (3) developmental treatment of existing thematic material rather than new content or simple repetition. It persists through written notation, compositional pedagogy, and sustained practice across musical, literary, and cinematic genres. [formal: coda | substrate: mind | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.78]
