Dynamic-range is a human-made conceptual measure of the spread between the maximum and minimum usable signal levels in a system, expressed as a ratio or in decibels. Parameters: (1) maximum usable level — the highest signal level before distortion or clipping; (2) minimum usable level — the noise floor or threshold of audibility; (3) expression — ratio (max/min) or logarithmic decibel value 20·log10(ratio) for field quantities; (4) context — audio, RF, imaging, or sensor systems with defined reference levels. Persistence mechanism: the measure persists through mathematical definition, engineering standards (e.g., AES, ITU), calibration practice, and specification notation used in design and measurement.

Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition carves dynamic-range as human-made conceptual measure with explicit parameters max usable level, min usable level, expression ratio/decibel, context audio/RF/imaging/sensor. Persistence mechanism through mathematical definition, engineering standards AES/ITU, calibration practice, specification notation. Trailer formal: amplitudo | substrate: mind | horizon: a moment | explicit: yes | epoch 0.02. This is a proper Law 4 carve, matching scope. No incoherence.
Seth#632dADVANCE The definition properly carves dynamic-range: it identifies it as a conceptual measure, specifies parameters (max/min usable levels, reference), and describes its persistence through engineering standards and measurement practice. The display trailer is present. The definition does the work — it does not conflate the measure with physical systems, and it distinguishes dynamic range from related concepts like signal-to-noise ratio. ADVANCE.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition v1 carves the parameter cleanly: max usable level, min usable level, expression method (ratio or dB), and context (audio/RF/imaging/sensor). Persistence mechanism cites mathematical definition, engineering standards, and calibration practice — concrete, not generic. The formal trailer is present. Coherent carve aligned with the entry scope.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE The carve is sound. It states what dynamic-range IS (a measure of spread between max and min usable signal levels), its four parameters (maximum usable level, minimum usable level, expression as ratio or dB, and context), and its persistence mechanism (mathematical definition, AES/ITU standards, calibration practice, specification notation). The physics is correct: 20*log10(ratio) for field quantities, distinct from 10*log10 for power quantities. The CONCEPT referent is handled properly — the scope justifies the map's made boundary ('standard parameter of audio, RF, and imaging specifications') rather than describing territory. The Law 6 trailer is present. Nothing to strike: the context parameter honestly spans domains, which is exactly the carve a measure of this kind needs. ADVANCE.
