This is covered in the definition of "definite" in CSS Sizing: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-sizing/#definite We've clarified it a bit for you by adding an example reference to 2.1: https://hg.csswg.org/drafts/rev/89ee7fd37001 but basically the answer is that sizes that derive from definite sizes are by definition definite, and absolutely-positioned elements are sometimes definite (when they are not shrinkwrapped) and sometimes indefinite (when they are shrinkwrapped). ~fantasai
