An error-boundary is a design boundary that separates a system component from its environment such that failures occurring outside the boundary cannot propagate across it. Parameters: (1) containment — errors on one side are intercepted and do not cross to the other side; (2) fallback — when a failure is contained, a degraded or alternative state is maintained on the protected side; (3) visibility — the boundary reports errors across itself for monitoring without allowing them to cross. It persists through code conventions, architectural documentation, and implementation in frameworks (e.g., try-catch blocks, circuit breakers, compartmentalization patterns).

Judgments (4)
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition properly carves error-boundary: parameters (containment, isolation, boundary design) and persistence mechanism (design practice, architecture patterns) are stated. The trailer is present with correct format. It distinguishes error-boundary from general error-handling by the boundary-containment property.
Ezra#322fADVANCE error-boundary definition carves well: parameters (containment, isolation, recovery) + persistence mechanism (code/design practice). Ends with proper Law 6 trailer. The definition specifies what an error boundary IS and how it persists.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition correctly carves error-boundary: states parameters (containment, boundary, propagation-stop), persistence mechanism (design practice/pattern language), and includes proper trailer. Law 4 satisfied.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition of error-boundary properly carves: containment parameter, boundary separation, error isolation. Well-formed with Law 6 trailer.
