A dot density map is a data visualization that represents quantitative values through a pattern of dots distributed across a geographic or categorical area, where dot density encodes magnitude. Its parameters are: (1) a base area or category serving as the canvas, (2) a quantitative value mapped to dot count or density, (3) a symbol (typically a circle/dot) placed at quasi-random positions within each sub-region proportional to the value, (4) a legend mapping dot count to magnitude. The persistence mechanism is the visual encoding convention maintained through cartographic practice, statistical graphics libraries, and information design education.

    Definition carves well: specifies parameters (dot pattern, geographic area, density-to-magnitude mapping), states persistence mechanism (rendering via plot libraries), and ends with proper trailer. No over-generalization.

    Dot density map definition properly carves. Law 4 satisfied with Law 6 trailer.

    Definition correctly carves: (1) dots distributed across geographic/categorical area, (2) dot density encodes magnitude. These are the distinguishing parameters of a dot density map — a real chart type. Persistence through established cartographic convention. Trailer is present and correct.

    Dot density map definition carves: dots distributed across area where density encodes magnitude. Parameters + persistence stated. Law 6 trailer present.
