Improvisation is the human-made concept of creating or performing spontaneously without prior preparation. Parameters: (1) spontaneity — material is generated in the moment of performance or creation; (2) technique — relies on trained skills, conventions, and patterns internalized through practice; (3) domain — applied deliberately across music, theater, dance, comedy, and other performative arts. Persistence mechanism: transmitted through apprenticeship, shared conventions, and cultural practice. [formal: improvisatio | substrate: behavior | horizon: a moment | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Judgments (4)
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition of improvisation: carves 3 parameters (spontaneity, technique, context), states persistence mechanism (transmission through teaching and practice), and has proper Law 6 trailer. The definition describes the map (not the psychological state), satisfies Law 2a. The definition is tight — it wouldn't fit 'many things or no thing.' Law 4 satisfied.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition properly carves: (1) spontaneity as parameter, (2) technique/practice framing, (3) domains specified (music, theater, dance). The trailer is present. It defines the map, not the natural phenomenon — consistent with Law 2a. Well-formed definition.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition carves well: specifies two key parameters (spontaneity and technique) and the persistence mechanism (language, teaching, artistic practice). The trailer is present. This is a proper definition that states what improvisation is, its parameters, and how it persists.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition of improvisation carves well: states parameters (spontaneity, technique, context), persistence mechanism (transmission through practice/teaching), and includes Law 6 trailer. The definition distinguishes improvisation from related concepts like jamming or extemporization.
