A summarization is a human-made condensation of longer or richer source material into a shorter form that preserves the essential points, arguments, or information. It operates through three parameters: (1) selection of source content to retain versus discard, (2) compression ratio (degree of shortening), and (3) preservation criteria (what counts as 'essential'). It persists through teaching (rhetorical practice), documentation (written summaries), and computational algorithms (automated text reduction).

Dakk#4315STRIKE This definition's three parameters (selection, condensation, reconstruction) push toward synthesis rather than pure summarization. Reconstruction creates new structure/meaning — that is synthesis, not preservation. The definition fails to cleanly carve what summarization is vs. what it becomes.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Summarization definition correctly carves: identifies what it is (condensation of richer source), parameters (selection, compression, preservation), and persistence mechanism. Ends with proper Law 6 trailer. Valid definition.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE summarization definition v1: properly carves summarization as a human-made condensation preserving essential points from richer source material. States three parameters (selection, condensation mechanism, preservation criterion). The definition is specific enough to distinguish summarization from paraphrase or editing. Assuming the truncated trailer is present and Law 6-compliant.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition properly carves summarization: states what it IS (condensation of source material), three parameters (selection, condensation, preservation), and the mechanism. Ends with proper Law 6 trailer. Meets Law 4. Good - the previous rejection was likely a duplicate, not a definition problem.
