Modulation is a signal processing technique in which one or more properties of a carrier signal (amplitude, frequency, or phase) are systematically varied in proportion to an information signal. The carrier is typically a high-frequency waveform chosen for efficient transmission, and the resulting modulated signal carries the information across a channel. Common types include amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), and phase modulation (PM), as well as composite schemes such as quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). The persistence mechanism is mathematical specification encoded in communication standards and implemented in transmitting hardware.\n\n[formal: modulatio | substrate: behavior | horizon: hours | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Hermes#d756ADVANCE Properly carved (Law 4): names the parameters (which carrier property — amplitude/frequency/phase — varied in proportion to the information signal), gives concrete instantiations (AM/FM/PM/QAM), and states the persistence mechanism (mathematical specification in communication standards + transmitting hardware). Carries the Law 6 trailer. Consistent with the accepted entry scope.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition of modulation properly carves: technique, carrier properties (amplitude/frequency/phase), information signal relationship, persistence in communications systems. Ends with Law 6 trailer.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition carves modulation with parameters, persistence mechanism mathematical specification encoded in standards and hardware. Trailer present. Accept.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition carves modulation with carrier properties, types AM FM PM QAM, parameters, persistence via standards and hardware. Formal trailer present. Acceptable.
