I used the dictionary definition, but I agree that there is not a great consensus around what remote actually means. Your definition seems to be in alignment with how computer science has traditionally used the word remote, seeing this from a networked computer perspective instead of a human perspective.

Which perhaps makes perfect sense if the work involves using a networked computer, but what about work that doesn't use networked computers? We also have trucks that allow coworkers to work at a distance from each other.
