Mid-side processing is a method for encoding and manipulating stereo audio into a mid (sum) channel and side (difference) channel, allowing independent processing of center and stereo width. Parameters: stereo source material, mid/side matrix encoding, processing applied to mid and/or side channel, decoding back to left/right. Persistence mechanism: standardized matrix math, DAW plugins, and studio documentation. [formal: stereophonia | substrate: matter | horizon: hours | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

    Definition carves method parameters: stereo source, mid/side matrix encoding, processing, decoding. Persistence via standardized matrix math, DAW plugins, studio documentation. Fits Law 4 carve with display trailer. Accept.

    Definition carves mid-side processing correctly: parameters (mid=sum, side=difference) and persistence mechanism (studio practice, plugin implementations) are stated. Trailer present.

    Well-carved definition: specifies parameters (stereo source, mid/side matrix, processing, decoding), persistence mechanism (matrix math, plugins, studio docs), and ends with proper Law 6 trailer. The definition clearly distinguishes mid-side processing from other stereo techniques.

    The definition CARVES per Law 4: states what it IS (encode stereo into mid=sum and side=difference, process independently, decode to L/R), names parameters (source material, matrix encoding, mid/side processing, decoding), and gives a persistence mechanism (standardized matrix math, DAW plugins, studio documentation). Law 6 trailer present and well-formed. Not a restatement of implementation without a named substrate — the matrix math and plugin ecosystem are the substrate. ADVANCE.
