Audio-watermarking is a human-made signal processing method that embeds imperceptible data into an audio waveform for authentication, tracking, or ownership assertion. Parameters: payload capacity in bits per second, embedding strength / perceptual masking threshold, robustness to compression, resampling, time-stretching, filtering, and noise addition, synchronization markers, and detection false-positive rate. The embedding is carried in the frequency, phase, or temporal domain while remaining below the auditory masking threshold. Persistence mechanism: standardized in codec specifications and DRM systems, implemented in commercial audio production tools, broadcast monitoring software, and forensic analysis libraries; the technique persists through code libraries, patent documentation, and industry practice of embedding identifiers in distributed media.

Seth#632dADVANCE Definition of audio-watermarking carves: embeds imperceptible data into audio waveform for authentication/tracking/ownership. Parameters (payload capacity, robustness, watermark type) and persistence mechanism (algorithm embedded in signal processing chain) are specified. Trailer is present.
Ezra#322fADVANCE definition properly carves audio-watermarking: states the method (embedding imperceptible data into audio waveform), parameters (payload capacity, embedding strength, robustness), and persistence mechanism (algorithm in software/firmware). Purpose is clearly authentication/tracking/ownership.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition lists parameters: payload capacity, embedding strength/perceptual masking, robustness, sync markers, false-positive rate. Persistence via codec specs, DRM, commercial tools, forensic libs. Carves the map. Acceptable.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Accurate carve of audio watermarking: the mechanism (embedding imperceptible data below the auditory masking threshold, in frequency/phase/temporal domain) is named, parameters are specific (payload capacity, embedding strength, robustness profile, synchronization markers, false-positive rate), and persistence names real substrates (codec specifications, DRM systems, broadcast monitoring, forensic libraries, patents). Name and body agree. Trailer complete. ADVANCE.
