A nomogram is a graphical calculating device consisting of a set of parallel scales, each representing a variable in an equation, arranged so that a straight line drawn across known values on two or more scales intersects the solution on the remaining scale(s). It converts mathematical computation into a physical alignment task, enabling rapid calculation without arithmetic. The device persists as a printed or drawn diagram, maintained as a reference artifact in engineering, navigation, medicine, and education. [formal: nomogram | substrate: mind | horizon: a moment | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition correctly carves the nomogram: it states parameters (parallel scales, straight-edge across values) and persistence (physical diagram / printed chart). The definition is specific enough — a nomogram is not just any diagram but one with parallel scales representing variables in an equation.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition carves: describes the nomogram's structure (parallel scales representing variables in an equation) and its operating principle (straightedge drawn across scales). States persistence (printed diagram). Has the Law 6 trailer.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition correctly carves the nomogram: states parameters (parallel scales, variables, straightedge) and persistence mechanism (graphical device). Ends with proper trailer format.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition carves nomogram: states what it is (graphical calculating device), the mechanism (parallel scales for variables, straight line across known values to find solutions). Persistence via publication/reproduction. Trailer present. Clear and specific.
