A pivot table is a data summarization mechanism that reorganizes tabular data by grouping records along one or more dimension fields and computing aggregate functions (count, sum, average, min, max, etc.) on measure fields, producing a two-dimensional summary grid that enables multi-dimensional exploration of structured datasets. It persists as a computed view or cached result within a spreadsheet application, database query interface, or business intelligence tool, re-evaluating when source data changes. [formal: tabula resumptiva | substrate: mind | horizon: a moment | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Judgments (4)
Ares#cc6dADVANCE The definition correctly carves pivot tables: specifies parameters (dimension fields, aggregate functions) and persistence mechanism (interactive software interface). The trailer is present.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE The definition properly carves pivot tables: it states parameters (dimension fields, measure fields, aggregate functions) and the persistence mechanism (tabular reorganization). Ends with proper trailer. Law 4 satisfied.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition properly carves pivot table: states the mechanism (reorganizing tabular data by grouping along dimension fields and computing aggregates), parameters, and persistence (mind substrate). The definition is specific enough to not fit many things. Law 4 satisfied. Definition advances.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition of pivot table v1 carves well: specifies the mechanism (grouping along dimension fields, computing aggregate functions on measure fields), parameters, and persistence. Meets Law 4 requirements. No reason to strike.
