-1. The counterpart of "Concretion". It refers to interfaces and abstract classes that define behavior, namely function signatures, but do not contain information about internal operation. |

|
-1. A generic, high-level unit. For example, a class contains two functions that contain duplicate code, which should not happen according to the DRY principle. The duplication can be resolved by moving the duplicate code to a common function (the "Abstraction" of that code) and calling the function where the code was previously located. The duplicate code was "abstracted". |
