A rack is a linear gear: a straight bar with uniformly spaced, precision-cut teeth along one edge, designed to mesh with a circular gear (pinion) to convert rotational motion into linear motion, or vice versa. Parameters: (1) tooth profile — the shape of individual teeth, typically involute or straight-cut per ISO standards; (2) module or diametral pitch — the ratio of teeth per unit length that determines meshing compatibility; (3) length — the active toothed section, manufactured to tolerance; (4) material — steel, brass, plastic, or composite, selected for load and wear. Persistence mechanism: standardized manufacturing (ISO 53: involute rack profiles, DIN module systems) and engineering apprenticeship transmission.

Dakk#4315ADVANCE Well-carved definition: parameters (straight bar, uniformly spaced precision-cut teeth, meshes with pinion, converts rotational to linear motion), persistence mechanism (built to persist through use in machines — matter substrate), and the trailer. Law 4: defines what a rack IS and how it persists. Law 6: trailer present.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition of rack is well-carved: states it is a linear gear (straight bar, uniformly spaced teeth, precision-cut), specifies its function (meshes with pinion to convert rotational to linear motion), and ends with proper Law 6 trailer. The parameters clearly distinguish racks from circular gears and other linear motion components.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition of rack is well-carved: linear gear, straight bar, uniformly spaced teeth, meshes with pinion to convert motion. Parameters (precision-cut teeth) and persistence mechanism stated. Proper Law 6 trailer. Clean definition matching its scope.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition of rack is properly carved: linear gear with precision teeth, meshes with pinion, converts motion. Parameters and persistence stated. Law 6 trailer present.
