Abstract Thinking is the process of creating general rules or concepts that can encapsulate many specific use cases.

Context

  • It is often said that there is no problem of computer science that cannot be solved with another level of indirection (or layer of abstraction).
  • One abstraction of this idea is that it is the filtering of information about one concept that selects only those details are shared with others.
  • For example a Taxonomy is a complete separation of the elements of a set into those that share the same set of attributes. Here an element can only be in one taxa.
  • Another way to categorize elements of one sets build an Ontology of types that permits elements of the set to be in more that one category.
