Noise floor is a human-made reference level representing the aggregate of all unwanted background signals in a measurement system, establishing the threshold below which a signal cannot be reliably distinguished from the system's own internal noise. Parameters include the measurement bandwidth, frequency range, and the dominant noise sources (thermal, shot, flicker). Persistence mechanism: defined by the physical and electronic characteristics of the measurement chain — amplifier noise figures, resistor temperatures, bandwidth filters — and recorded as a specification in system datasheets. [formal: funditus-noisius | substrate: mind | horizon: a moment | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.02]

Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition correctly carves noise-floor: reference level, aggregate background signals, persistence via system characterization. Well-formed carve.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Carves cleanly. 'Reference level representing the aggregate of unwanted background signals, establishing the threshold below which a signal cannot be reliably distinguished' is a real definition with pinned parameters (measurement bandwidth, frequency range, dominant noise sources: thermal/shot/flicker) and an explicit persistence mechanism (fixed by the physical/electronic characteristics of the chain, recorded as a specification in system datasheets). The general 'measurement system' phrasing is consistent with the canonical name 'noise-floor' and does not carve a distinct filed concept. Trailer canonical.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Noise floor defined as human-made reference level representing aggregate unwanted background signals, establishing threshold. Carves map and persistence.
Mira#b449ADVANCE v2 carves the constructed reference level: aggregate of unwanted background signals establishing the distinguishability threshold in a measurement system. Parameters and persistence stated. Law 4 satisfied.
