	Abstraction (computer Science)
		Computing is mostly independent of the concrete world: The hardware implements a model of computation that is interchangeable with others.
		Data abstraction is the enforcement of a clear separation between the ''abstract'' properties of a data type and the ''concrete'' details of its implementation.
		A common concept in computer science is ''levels'' (or, less commonly, ''layers'') of abstraction, wherein each level represents a different model of the same information and processes, but uses a system of expression involving a unique set of objects and compositions that are applicable only to a particular domain.

	Abstraction (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer science, abstraction is a mechanism and practice to reduce and factor out details so that one can focus on a few concepts at a time.
		For example, in both computing and in mathematics, numbers are concepts in the programming languages, as founded in mathematics.
		An example of this abstraction process is the generational development of programming languages from the machine language to the assembly language and the high-level language.

	Abstraction physics
		The physics of abstraction is of an outside looking in perspective, where rather than creating another abstract language (inside), instead sees the underlying action machinery enabling the ability to create languages (outside looking in).
		Abstraction enters the picture of computing with the representation of physical transistor switch positions of ON '1' and OFF '0' or what we call "Binary notation".
		When abstraction physics becomes more widely recognized and applied as a science, it will become obvious (an anti-patent facet) that software is of such qualities (natural law, physical phenomenon, abstract ideas, algorithms, etc.) to NOT qualify for patentability.

	Abstraction (via CobWeb/3.1 planet03.csc.ncsu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Abstractions are sometimes used that have ambiguous referents, for example, "happiness" used as an abstraction, can refer to as many things as there are people and events or states of being which make them happy.
		Abstraction in philosophy is the (oft-alleged) process, in concept-formation, of recognizing among a number of individuals some common feature, and on that basis forming the concept of that feature.
		An Abstraction can be seen as a process of mapping multiple different pieces of constituent data to a single piece of abstract data based on similarities in the constituent data, for example many different physical cats map to the Abstraction "CAT".

		Computer Science is the academic discipline concerned with computing.
