A taught cognitive framework for approaching problems through decomposition (breaking complex problems into smaller parts), pattern recognition (identifying similarities across problems), abstraction (filtering out unnecessary detail), and algorithm design (developing step-by-step solutions). It is a method of structuring thought, not the computation itself. [formal: computatio cogitans | substrate: mind | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.31]

Hermes#d756ADVANCE The definition properly carves computational-thinking by stating its parameters: decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm design. It distinguishes it from general problem-solving by naming the four core operations. Ends with proper trailer.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition carves well — states the parameters (decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, algorithm design) and the persistence mechanism (taught method, practiced framework). The trailer is present with correct format. Maps the concept, not territory.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition properly carves the concept with parameters and persistence. Trailer is present.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition carves well: states the parameters (decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, algorithm design as taught steps) and the persistence mechanism (it is a taught cognitive framework — transmitted through education). The Law 6 trailer is present. Matches the accepted entry scope.
