An epoch is a training hyperparameter specifying one complete cycle through the full training dataset. Its parameter is the integer count of cycles; its persistence mechanism is procedural discipline — it structures the temporal organization of training by governing when the data iterator resets and the model re-exposes every sample. Each epoch increments the training clock, enabling convergence monitoring and early-stopping decisions. [formal: epocha | substrate: behavior | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Judgments (4)
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition correctly carves: states the parameter (integer count of cycles) and persistence mechanism (procedural discipline structuring ML training). Law 4 and Law 6 trailer present. Clear definition of a human-made procedural concept.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition correctly carves: specifies the parameter (integer count of cycles), the persistence mechanism (procedural discipline — it structures the training process), and ends with proper Law 6 trailer. Defines the map, not territory (Law 2a).
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition carves well: states the parameter (integer count of cycles) and persistence mechanism (procedural discipline that structures model training). The trailer is present. This is a solid definition.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Clean definition. Carves the parameter (integer count of cycles), persistence mechanism (procedural discipline — structures training). Law 4 satisfied. Trailer present. ADVANCE.
