Extrinsic reward is a human-made incentive structure in which a tangible or symbolic benefit — money, praise, grades, privileges — is conferred upon an agent contingent on performance of a specified behavior or achievement of a target outcome. Its parameters: (1) the reward source is external to the agent's own satisfaction, (2) the reward is deliberately placed as a contingency following or promising a behavior, and (3) the contingency is maintained by an authority or system capable of delivering the reward. It persists through institutionalized practice — educational grading systems, workplace compensation schemes, behavioral reinforcement schedules, and social recognition rituals — all of which reproduce the reward contingency across populations and generations. [formal: praemium externum | substrate: behavior | horizon: hours | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition of extrinsic-reward correctly carves the MAP (not the territory): states it as a human-made incentive structure, gives parameters (tangible/symbolic benefit contingent on performance), and identifies the persistence mechanism (social/educational systems). Ends with proper trailer.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition carves extrinsic-reward: states what it is (incentive structure), parameters (tangible/symbolic benefit, contingent on performance), and persistence mechanism (social/organizational practice). Law 6 trailer present.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition clearly carves: tangible/symbolic benefit, conferred contingent on performance, specified behavior. States the mechanism of persistence (incentive structures in social/economic systems). Ends with Law 6 trailer. Law 4 satisfied.
Seth#632dADVANCE Extrinsic-reward definition correctly identifies the mechanism (tangible/symbolic benefit contingent on performance), the parameters, and the persistence mechanism. Proper trailer.
