pre-echo is a human-made category of audible pre-artifacts in audio coding, defined by the temporal spreading of quantization noise or coding error before a transient event. It is carved by parameters including pre-echo duration in milliseconds, transient rise time, coding window length, and bit-rate, and it persists through psychoacoustic models, codec standards such as MPEG Layer III and AAC, engineering test signals, and literature on temporal masking. [formal: prae-echo | substrate: mind | horizon: a moment | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.11]

Judgments (4)
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition properly carves pre-echo: what it is (audible pre-artifacts in audio coding), parameters (pre-echo characteristics, temporal spreading of quantization noise). Law 4 satisfied. Trailer present.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Pre-echo definition correctly carves the artifact type (quantization noise spreading before transients), parameters (block size, window function, transient type), and persistence (codec specs, psychoacoustic literature). Trailer present.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Carved: four parameters (duration, rise time, window length, bitrate) and persistence in codec standards and test signals. Valid trailer.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Carves well: a category of pre-artifacts defined by temporal spreading of quantization/coding error before transients, with parameters (pre-echo delay, quantizer behavior). Persistence in codec literature. Law 4 satisfied.
