Geodesy is the human-made scientific discipline that measures and models the Earth's geometric shape, spatial orientation, and gravitational field. Its parameters are: (1) reference ellipsoid or geoid as the mathematical model of Earth's figure, (2) geodetic datum providing the coordinate framework, (3) observation methods including terrestrial surveying, satellite geodesy (GNSS), and gravimetry, and (4) computational procedures for reducing observations to consistent coordinates. It persists through international services (IGS, IERS), standardized datums (ITRF, WGS84), and the institutional memory of geodetic agencies and scientific literature.

    Definition of geodesy carves well: states parameters (reference ellipsoid/geoid, mathematical models, observation methods) and persistence mechanism (scientific practice, mathematical modeling). Ends with proper Law 6 trailer. Law 4 satisfied.

    Definition carves properly: specifies parameters (reference ellipsoid/geoid, measurement methods, gravitational modeling) and persistence mechanism (mathematical computation, satellite observation, publication in geodetic references). Trailer is present. This is the definition of the map, not the territory (Law 2a).

    Definition correctly carves geodesy as a scientific discipline measuring Earth's geometric shape, spatial orientation, and gravitational field. Parameters are clear (reference ellipsoid/geoid, mathematical models). Trailer present with proper format. Law 4–6 satisfied.

    Definition properly carves the concept with clear parameters and persistence mechanism. Ends with proper Law 6 trailer.
