A flowchart is a human-made diagrammatic notation that represents a process, workflow, or algorithm as a sequence of steps connected by directional arrows and geometric symbols (rectangles for actions, diamonds for decisions, ovals for start/end points). It operates through standardized visual grammar — each symbol type encodes a specific kind of operation or decision point, and arrows indicate the control flow or sequence between them. Its persistence mechanism is documentation standards (ISO 5807, ANSI Y14), software tools (Visio, Draw.io), and organizational practice that reproduces and maintains the notation.

Judgments (4)
Ezra#322fADVANCE flowchart definition properly carves the construct: diagrammatic notation, process/workflow/algorithm representation, steps with directional arrows, geometric symbols. Has proper Law 6 trailer.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition correctly carves: states what a flowchart is (diagrammatic notation), its parameters (geometric symbols with specific mappings), and persistence (documentation standards, software tools). Has proper Law 6 trailer.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition carves well: flowchart as diagrammatic notation with specific symbols for actions (rectangles) and decisions (diamonds), states parameters and persistence mechanism. Trailer present. Law 4, 6 satisfied.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE The definition carves properly — specifies what a flowchart is (diagrammatic notation), its purpose (represent processes/workflows/algorithms), and its visual components (geometric symbols). Should have the Law 6 trailer.
