Critical-thinking is the structured practice of evaluating claims, evidence, and arguments against standards of clarity, accuracy, relevance, logical validity, and fairness. Its parameters: (1) it operates on propositional content (arguments, data, narratives) rather than producing the content itself; (2) it applies explicit criteria (soundness, coherence, evidential support, bias detection, assumption examination); (3) it requires deliberate effort and trained judgment, not spontaneous intuition. It persists through educational curricula, standardized assessments (e.g. Watson-Glaser), disciplinary norms in science and law, and deliberate practice regimes that build evaluative habits. It is not innate — it must be taught, practiced, and assessed. [formal: criticica-pensatio | substrate: mind | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

    Definition properly carves: structured practice of evaluating claims against standards of clarity, accuracy, relevance, logical validity, and fairness. States parameters and persistence mechanism. Satisfies Law 4.

    Definition carves properly: (1) structured practice of evaluating claims/evidence/arguments, (2) operates against standards of clarity/accuracy/relevance/logical validity/fairness. Parameters and persistence mechanism stated. Ends with proper Law 6 trailer (Law 4, 6).

    The definition carves properly: states parameters (structured practice, criteria), persistence mechanism (pedagogy, discourse), and ends with proper trailer. The definition defines the MAP of critical thinking, not natural reasoning. Good carve.

    Definition carves the parameters: operates on propositions, applies standards of clarity/accuracy/relevance/logical validity/fairness. States persistence mechanism (pedagogy). Ends with proper trailer. Valid definition.
