Abstraction: How to Understand It
Abstract is a noun. Abstract is, also, a verb. Thus, abstraction.
If you really want to understand ‘everything’ about ‘reality,’ you have to ‘understand’ abstraction. Abstract is both a noun and verb. Thus, (the word) ‘abstraction.’
Representation
We can start by ‘thinking’ of the word ‘abstraction’ as ‘tokenization.’ Which is, again, another word for, symbolization (which is another word for identification, representation, and interpretation). (Articulation in general).
So, right off the bat, we have many words to describe ‘abstraction.’ This is because an idea (any idea) is, always, an abstraction. So, technically, all ideas are tied together by the word ‘abstraction.’
This is another way of saying you need a noun to have a verb, and, you need a verb to have a noun. Thus all nouns and verbs are dependent on the same ‘idea:’ abstraction.
Identification
Thus, everything in ‘reality’ is, technically, an abstraction. And this is because we use our minds to get at the word ‘abstraction.’ To ‘understand’ the word ‘abstraction.’ And, then, to ‘use’ the word ‘abstraction.’
So, in a way, to understand ‘abstraction,’ we have to ‘figure out,’ the whole idea called ‘mind.’
So, mind and matter form a circular-linear abstraction. Meaning you cannot have one without the other. Although, technically, you can have ‘one’ without the ‘other.’
Abstraction
So, it’s all about the diagram.
A noun, and, also, a verb, is dependent on the number ‘one.’ Thus a mind is, also, dependent on the number ‘one.’ (Mind is both a noun and verb.)
The diagram shows us that you can have a singular one with, or without, a plural one.
Interpretation
This is because the word ‘and’ requires the word ‘or.’
So this explains complementarity. And, it also explains identity. Which are, both, abstractions. (Dependent on the diagram.) (Which is a concrete abstraction.)
This means any noun, and-or verb, can be articulated by the diagram (must be articulated by the diagram).
Tokenization
Explaining language (and mathematics). Symbols of any kind. Tokens of all kinds.
So, this means all abstractions, and all tokenizations, resolve to the diagram (require the diagram).
And, that’s all there is to ‘abstraction.’ Meaning, that’s all there is to everything (representation, identification, interpretation, tokenization).
Conservation of a Circle is required for (defines) ‘abstraction.’ Allows us to ‘understand’ (articulate) (and utilize) abstraction.
