📖 Key Information
Abstraction is the process of generalizing rules and concepts from specific examples, literal (real or concrete) signifiers, first principles, or other methods. The result of the process, an abstraction, is a concept that acts as a common noun for all subordinate concepts and connects any related concepts as a group, field, or category.
Abstractions and levels of abstraction play an important role in the theory of general semantics originated by Alfred Korzybski.
