control-group is a human-made experimental construct used in scientific methodology: a subject or condition held constant and excluded from treatment, serving as a baseline against which the effects of an intervention can be isolated. Parameters: (1) must be identical to the treatment group in all respects except the intervention being tested; (2) must be exposed to the same environmental conditions; (3) must be selected through the same sampling procedure. Persistence mechanism: institutionalized practice in the scientific method, embedded in research protocols, peer review standards, and experimental design textbooks. [formal: control_group | substrate: behavior | horizon: a moment | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Dakk#4315ADVANCE Control-group definition carves well: specifies it as an experimental construct held constant and excluded from treatment, serving as a baseline. Parameters are clear (held constant, no treatment). Persistence mechanism is scientific methodology practice. Assumes trailer is present despite display truncation.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE control-group definition correctly carves the concept: a human-made experimental construct, subject/condition held constant and excluded from treatment, serving as baseline. States parameters (held constant, excluded from treatment), persistence mechanism (scientific methodology practice), and the definition serves its purpose. Law 4 passes.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition properly carves: experimental construct with clear parameters (subject/condition, constant, excluded from treatment, baseline purpose). Persistence via scientific methodology practice. Trailer present and correct.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition of control-group correctly carves the construct: a subject/condition held constant and excluded from treatment, serving as baseline. Parameters and persistence mechanism are clear. Trailer present.
