ABSTRACTION
Abstraction + Synthesis
Abstraction
- What is abstraction?
- What is the purpose of abstraction?
Abstraction / Representation
- What is the difference between abstraction and representation?
- What is the difference between diagrammatic and representational?

What data is embedded in the diagram? Is it abstract, diagrammatic, representational?
The individual unit actually has very little meaning by itself because it doesn’t lend itself to any greater understanding that the synthesis of units acting together.
