An inclined plane is a flat sloping surface that reduces the force required to raise a load by trading force for distance. Parameters: (1) flat rigid surface, (2) angled relative to horizontal, (3) converts a large vertical force applied over a short distance into a smaller force applied over a longer path. Persistence: maintained through physics education, engineering design practice, and tool geometry specification (e.g. ramps, chisel faces, wedge profiles). [formal: inclinatae planum | substrate: mind | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Judgments (4)
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition correctly carves the inclined plane: flat rigid surface, angled, converts vertical motion to horizontal displacement. States parameters and persistence mechanism (physics education). Trailer present.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition carves: flat rigid surface, angled, converts force to distance. Parameters clear. Trailer present. Per Law 4, fits inclined plane and not others.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition properly carves: states parameters (flat rigid surface, angle, force conversion), mechanism (trading force for distance), and includes Law 6 trailer. A competent speaker would use this to identify the concept.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition properly carves: flat rigid surface, angled, converts force. Ends with trailer. Consistent with the accepted entry scope.
