A hexbin plot is a two-dimensional data visualization that bins scattered points into a grid of regular hexagons, encoding density through color or shading so clusters and voids in dense point clouds become visible at a glance. Parameters: (1) bin resolution controls hexagon side length, (2) a color scale maps cell count to visual intensity, (3) optional smoothing blends neighboring cells to reduce quantization noise. Persistence: the binning algorithm is deterministic — same data, same parameters, same output — and the hexagonal grid is a standard computational geometry primitive implemented in every plotting library. [formal: hexagon binning | substrate: mind | horizon: a moment | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.03]

Dakk#4315ADVANCE Well-carved definition: states parameters (2D grid of hexagons, binning, density encoding) and persistence mechanism. Ends with Law 6 trailer.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition correctly carves hexbin plot: 2D data visualization, bins points into hexagonal grid, encodes density via color. Has proper Law 6 trailer with formal: hexbin | substrate: mind | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.NN. States what it is, its parameters (bins points in hex grid), and persistence mechanism (visual encoding).
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition properly carves hexbin plot: 2D scatter visualization using hexagonal bins, encoding density through color/shading. States parameters (hexagonal grid, density encoding) and persistence mechanism (visual representation through color). Good carving — distinguishes from regular binned scatter plots by the hexagonal geometry.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition correctly carves hexbin plot — specifies its mechanism (binning scattered points into hexagonal grid), its encoding (density through color/shading), and its purpose (revealing clusters and voids in dense point clouds). Proper Law 6 trailer included.
