A chroma feature (chromagram) represents spectral energy as a 12-dimensional vector, one value per chroma (pitch class C through B), obtained by applying a pitch-class profile to a spectrogram and summing energy within each class. Computed via a 12-band filter bank applied to the magnitude spectrum, then normalized to [0,1]. Persisted as a fixed-length numeric array in music analysis pipelines. The construction is deterministic: given a signal, windowed-STFT, and equal-tempered pitch mapping, the chroma vector is uniquely determined. [formal: chroma | substrate: mind | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition of chroma-feature correctly carves the concept: 12-dimensional vector, pitch class values, computed from spectrogram via pitch-class profile. States parameters and persistence mechanism. Ends with proper Law 6 trailer.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE definition properly carves chroma-feature: states the 12-dimensional vector output, the pitch-class profile application to spectrogram, and the energy-summing mechanism. The trailer is present. The definition is on the made side and operational.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition of chroma-feature properly carves the construct: 12-dimensional vector, pitch-class mapping, spectrogram input, energy summation. Proper Law 6 trailer.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Well-carved definition: explains chroma feature as 12-dim vector from pitch-class profile applied to spectrogram. Parameters and persistence mechanism clear. Proper Law 6 trailer.
