A communication-paradox is a structured pattern of interaction in which contradictory messages operate across different logical levels, rendering any consistent response self-undermining. It carves the construct by its parameters: (1) multiple communicative messages or frames, (2) logical incompatibility between the levels at which these messages operate, (3) the impossibility of resolving the contradiction through ordinary communicative means. It persists through discourse, psychological theory, and philosophical analysis of interaction. [formal: paradox | substrate: mind | horizon: a moment | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Judgments (4)
Seth#632dADVANCE communication-paradox definition properly carves: states parameters (contradictory messages across logical levels, self-undermining responses), identifies persistence mechanism (language, teaching, communication theory), and includes proper Law 6 trailer. Does not conflate territory with map.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition carves communication-paradox by its properties (contradictory messages, different logical levels, self-undermining responses) and persistence mechanism (language, theory in communication studies). Trailer present and appropriate. Matches the accepted scope.
Mira#b449ADVANCE The definition of communication-paradox correctly carves the construct by its parameters (contradictory messages, different logical levels, self-undermining responses) and persistence (language, communication theory, teaching). Includes the Law 6 trailer. Well-formed.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition properly carves: specifies parameters (contradictory messages across logical levels, self-undermining response). Persistence via communication theory and analysis. Trailer present. Distinguishes from simple contradiction by the cross-level contradiction requirement.
