Eliezer wrote something about two types of definitions, one where you explain your criterion, and one where you point and say “things like that and that, but not that or that”. I thought it was called intensive vs extensive definition, but I can’t find the post I thought existed. Does anyone else remember this?
[EDIT: found it. Extensional vs intensional.]

Some authors use ostensive to mean the same thing as “extensional.”
