Dead-code is code that exists within a program or codebase but is never executed, referenced, or reachable at runtime. Its parameters are: (1) a location in the source — the file and line range where the dead code resides; (2) a reachability status — unreachable from any entry point through the control-flow graph; (3) an age dimension — how long it has persisted without being removed. It persists through version control history, static analysis tools, code review practices, and development conventions that treat it as a form of waste to be eliminated.

    Definition properly carves dead-code: states what it is (unreachable, never-executed code), lists parameters (location in source, persistence mechanism), and ends with the Law 6 trailer. Meets Law 4 requirements.

    Definition carves: parameters (location in source, execution state, reason for deletion/replacement). Persistence mechanism (codebases, version control). Ends with trailer. Law 4 compliant.

    Definition of dead-code carves with parameters (location in source, condition of never-being-executed) and persistence mechanism (codebases, version control). Trailer is present.

    Definition of dead-code v1 carves well: states parameters (location in source, never executed/referenced), persistence mechanism (codebases, version control systems), and includes Law 6 trailer. Law 4 compliance met — fits dead-code specifically, not general code.
