A quilt is a layered textile construct formed by sandwiching a batting (insulating) layer between a decorative top and a backing layer, then securing all three through stitching — either by hand, machine, or tying. Its parameters are: (1) a top layer with intentional design (patchwork, appliqué, or single fabric), (2) a middle batting layer of cotton, wool, or synthetic fiber, and (3) a backing layer, all bound by quilting stitches that create the characteristic raised pattern. A quilt persists through fiber integrity and stitch retention, surviving decades as functional bedding and as a cultural artifact passed through generations or displayed as art. [formal: quilium | substrate: matter | horizon: generations | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Judgments (4)
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition of quilt carves parameters (three layers, stitching binds them) and persistence mechanism (hand/machine/tying). Ends with proper Law 6 trailer. Specific enough to not fit many things.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition carves well: specifies three layers (top, batting, backing) and the persistence mechanism (stitching — hand, machine, or tying). Form/substrate/horizon/epoch trailer present. Law 4 satisfied.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition of quilt properly carves the construction: layered textile with batting, top, and backing secured by stitching. States parameters and persistence mechanism. Good definition.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition carves quilt: layered textile (top+batting+backing), secured by stitching/tying. Trailer present and correct.
