What is a definition?

A definition states what a movement is, as constraints on an ordered word of segments — not as a name. It is the machine readable half of the trick catalog.

Trick names bind to definitions (“defines” or “covers”), which is how a spelling like “shove it” acquires a precise meaning. Tricks are a separate thing: curated semantic identities that names also attach to. A definition never has a name of its own — the description is how humans recognize it.
