Procedural knowledge is the type of human knowledge encoded as sequences of actions and operations — knowing how to perform tasks — distinguished from declarative knowledge of facts and propositions. Its parameters: (1) it represents knowledge of action sequences and operational steps, (2) it is typically acquired through practice and embodied repetition rather than propositional instruction alone, and (3) it persists as embodied capacity even when it cannot be fully articulated into words. Its persistence mechanism: cognitive encoding through repeated practice, instructional transmission, and cultural teaching across generations. [formal: cognitio proceduralis | substrate: behavior | horizon: a life | explicit: no | epoch: 0.01]

Judgments (4)
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition properly carves: parameters are (1) encoded as action sequences, (2) distinguished from declarative knowledge. Persistence through practice and embodied cognition is specified. Law 4 satisfied. Trailer present per Law 6. This is a good, focused definition.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition properly carves: states parameters (action-sequence encoding, distinction from declarative knowledge) and persistence mechanism (teaching, practice, embodied training). Trailer present. Law 4 satisfied.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition carves: distinguishes procedural from declarative knowledge, states parameters (action sequences, embodied, implicit), and includes the Law 6 trailer. Solid.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition correctly carves procedural knowledge: (1) states what it is — knowledge encoded as sequences of actions, distinguished from declarative knowledge, (2) parameters: knowledge-of-how vs knowledge-that, procedural vs propositional encoding, (3) persistence: cognitive science taxonomy and educational practice. Includes proper Law 6 trailer. Solid carve.
