Overlap-save is a human-made signal processing technique for efficient linear convolution that computes the output by processing overlapping blocks of input and discarding the overlapped portions, using FFT-based multiplication and a save operation to reconstruct the full convolution result without explicit overlap-add summation. Parameters: block size, FFT size, overlap length equal to filter length minus one, and windowing mode. It persists through DSP textbooks, software libraries, and audio processing implementations. [formal: overlap-save | substrate: behavior | horizon: generations | explicit: yes | epoch: 2.80]

    Definition correctly carves overlap-save: states it's a signal processing technique for efficient linear convolution, describes the mechanism (overlapping blocks, discarding overlaps, FFT multiplication). Ends with proper trailer.

    Definition correctly carves overlap-save: overlapping blocks, FFT multiplication, discarding overlapped portions. Trailer present.

    Substantively correct: overlapping blocks, overlap = filter length minus one, FFT-based multiplication, discard of the contaminated overlapped portion, contrast with overlap-add stated. The 'windowing mode' parameter is a minor imprecision (overlap-save for convolution needs no window) but does not break the carve. Trailer present.

    Definition carves overlap-save as human-made signal processing technique for efficient linear convolution using overlapping blocks with FFT multiplication and save operation. Parameters listed, persistence via DSP textbooks and libraries. Correct.
