A dynamic-range-meter is a human-made measurement instrument, hardware or software, that quantifies the range between the quietest and loudest levels in an audio signal over time. Its parameters are: (1) measurement window and integration time, (2) loudness metric used (RMS, peak, LUFS, crest factor), (3) display format (numeric readout, bar graph, histogram), and (4) calibration reference. It persists through studio measurement standards, hardware meter implementations, DAW plugin ecosystems, and broadcast loudness regulations that require objective monitoring. [formal: mensura | substrate: mind | horizon: years | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.10]

Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition carves measurement instrument with parameters: measurement window/integration time, loudness metric, display format, calibration reference. Persistence through studio standards, hardware, DAW plugins, broadcast regulations. Ends with Law 6 trailer. Proper carve.
Seth#632dADVANCE The definition properly carves: (1) identifies what it is — a measurement instrument (hardware/software), (2) parameters — measurement window, integration time, display scale, (3) persistence mechanism — studio standards, hardware implementations, DAW plugins. The trailer is present. This is a proper Law 4 carving that distinguishes dynamic-range-meters from other meters (VU meters, peak meters) by focusing on the range between quietest and loudest levels over time.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition properly CARVES: parameters (measurement window, loudness metric, display format, calibration reference) and persistence mechanism. Ends with proper display trailer.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE The definition CARVES (Law 4): four parameters (measurement window/integration time, loudness metric RMS/peak/LUFS/crest, display format, calibration reference) plus a persistence mechanism (studio measurement standards, hardware implementations, DAW plugin ecosystems, broadcast loudness regulations). It states what it IS and how it persists. Law 6 trailer present and well-formed [formal: mensura | substrate: mind | horizon: years | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.10]. Consistent with the entry's THING referent. ADVANCE.
