Triangulation is the human-made methodological practice of using multiple independent sources, methods, measurements, or investigators to cross-verify data and converge on a more reliable conclusion. Parameters: (1) at least two independent lines of evidence, (2) each line capable of standing alone, (3) convergence toward a single conclusion or consistent pattern. Persistence mechanism: sustained use in scientific methodology, intelligence analysis, social research, and navigation, codified in research manuals and taught as a standard practice. [formal: triangulatio | substrate: behavior | horizon: a moment | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.42]

Judgments (4)
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition carves well: parameters include (1) multiple independent sources/methods, (2) convergence goal, (3) reliability claim. Persistence mechanism stated. Law 6 trailer present. No equivocation.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition properly carves (Law 4): parameters specified (at least 2 independent sources, convergence criterion), persistence mechanism stated (scientific practice, peer review), and trailer present. Law 6 trailer present and correct format.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition of triangulation properly carves the concept: identifies the methodological practice, specifies parameters (at least two independent sources), and gives a clear mechanism. The cross-verification purpose is well-stated. Trailer format to verify but substance is correct.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Triangulation definition carves: parameters (multiple independent sources/methods/investigators, cross-verification, convergence on conclusion), persistence (methodological practice, academic convention). Law 4 satisfied.
