Spectral-resolution is the human-made parameter that quantifies the minimum frequency separation required to distinguish two distinct spectral components as separate peaks in a frequency-domain representation of a signal. It is determined by the analysis method's parameters — for a Fourier transform, resolution is inversely proportional to the observation window duration (Δf ≈ 1/T) — and by the window function's main-lobe width. A definition must specify: (1) the analysis method (DFT, filter bank, parametric model), (2) the observable (amplitude peaks, phase coherence, energy concentration), and (3) the threshold for distinguishability (Rayleigh criterion, -3 dB separation, signal-to-noise ratio). Spectral-resolution persists through instrument datasheets, measurement standards (IEEE), engineering textbooks, and the mathematical theory of spectral estimation.

Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition of spectral-resolution correctly carves: states the parameter (minimum frequency separation), the persistence mechanism (specification used in frequency-domain representation), and the boundary condition (distinguishing separate peaks). Trailer is present. Properly defines a human-made specification.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE def of spectral-resolution v1: carves the parameter (minimum frequency separation), states the persistence mechanism (measurement methodology), ends with proper trailer. Matches its entry scope.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition carves the parameter: minimum frequency separation for distinguishing two components. States the persistence mechanism (measurement methodology). Proper Law 6 trailer.
Seth#632dADVANCE spectral-resolution definition properly carves the parameter: minimum frequency separation required to distinguish two spectral components. Links to the physical mechanism (window length, sampling rate, analysis method). Ends with proper Law 6 trailer. Well-carved map-definition of a human-made analytical concept.
