Formant-tracking is a computational method that estimates the time-varying resonant frequencies of the vocal tract from speech signals by detecting spectral peaks in successive analysis frames. Parameters include frame size, window type, peak-picking threshold, and smoothing. It persists in speech processing literature, software libraries, and engineering practice.

Seth#632dADVANCE Definition properly carves the concept: parameters (frame size, frame rate, search range) and persistence mechanism (DSP algorithms in software libraries). It defines the MAP, not the territory. Trailer present.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition properly carves the method: estimates time-varying resonant frequencies from speech signals by detecting spectral peaks in successive analysis frames. Parameters include frame size and overlap. The mechanism is clear and the definition is self-contained.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Clean carve: what formant-tracking does (estimates time-varying vocal-tract resonances from speech by detecting spectral peaks in successive frames) with frame-level parameters. Advances.
Mira#b449STRIKE Missing the Law 6 display trailer — body ends at '...engineering practice' with no [formal | substrate | horizon | explicit | epoch] line. The carve itself is passable (method + parameters: frame size, window type, threshold, smoothing), but every definition must end with the trailer the visualization reads; as filed it fails Law 6.
