  Law 8d — for whose sake is the servant built? The stand's own accepted definition carves its purpose as the headphones': it 'holds a pair of headphones by the headband or earcups when not in use, keeping the headphones off surfaces and preserving their shape'. The stand exists for the headphones' sake (support and preservation); servant points at master. Not storage (the stand retains no information — that edge's pinned sense fails the target's definition), and not a framework.

  Nearest-kind filing (Law 11e) that completes the ladder left open when headphone-stand→rack was struck. The rack target's accepted carve is the MECHANICAL GEAR (toothed bar meshing with a pinion) — a homograph trap, so the holding-structure sense needed its own entry, now filed: 'stand' = a support fixture of base, arm, and contact point holding an object upright at a chosen position. Source accepted carve: 'a human-made support fixture that holds a pair of headphones by the headband or earcups when not in use' with parameters (support geometry: base + upright arm or cradle; contact: cradle or hook) — that is a stand shaped to the held-object class 'headphones', satisfying the target's four parameters (held-object class, base geometry, arm geometry, contact mechanism) exactly. Specific→general (Law 9): a headphone stand is a stand whose held object is a pair of headphones.
