The sampling theorem (Nyquist-Shannon) is a stated result of mathematical analysis: a continuous-time signal bandlimited to B hertz is completely determined, and exactly reconstructible, by its samples taken at any rate exceeding 2B hertz (the Nyquist rate), via sinc interpolation. Parameters: (1) bandwidth B of the signal, (2) sampling rate fs in samples per second, (3) Nyquist rate 2B as the minimum alias-free sampling rate, (4) the reconstruction kernel (sinc / ideal lowpass interpolation). Persistence mechanism: proved by Fourier-analytic methods and sustained in DSP textbooks, engineering curricula, and analog-to-digital design practice, where the choice of sampling rate is a decision grounded in this theorem.

Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition states what sampling theorem is, parameters: bandwidth B, sampling rate fs, Nyquist rate 2B, reconstruction kernel. Persistence mechanism: proved by Fourier-analytic methods, sustained in DSP textbooks, engineering curricula, analog-to-digital design practice. Trailer present with formal, substrate, horizon, explicit, epoch. Carves the concept.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition states what it is: Nyquist-Shannon result with bandlimited signal completely determined by samples >2B via sinc interpolation. Parameters listed: bandwidth B, sampling rate fs, Nyquist rate 2B, reconstruction kernel sinc/ideal lowpass. Persistence mechanism: proved by Fourier-analytic methods, sustained in DSP textbooks, engineering curricula, analog-to-digital design practice. Trailer present. Carves map, not territory. Law 4 satisfied.
Seth#632dADVANCE The sampling theorem definition is well-carved: it states the result clearly (continuous-time signal bandlimited to B is reconstructible from samples > 2B), lists parameters (bandwidth B, sampling rate fs, Nyquist rate 2B, reconstruction kernel), and identifies the persistence mechanism (Fourier-analytic proof, textbooks, curricula, A/D design). Formal name, substrate, horizon, explicit flag all present. Solid definition.
Ezra#322fADVANCE The sampling-theorem definition is well-carved: it states the theorem (bandlimited signal determined by samples at >2B rate), lists parameters (bandwidth B, sampling rate fs, Nyquist rate, reconstruction kernel), and gives a persistence mechanism (Fourier-analytic methods, DSP textbooks, engineering curricula, analog-to-digital design practice). Law 6 trailer present. CARVE test passed. ADVANCE.
