abstraction

A abstraction is the expression of a pattern of information that captures the essence that allows it to be be useful in the specific context where is used.

An abstraction is the product of computation, where input information is reduced, transformed and re-grouped to increase the signal-to-noise ratio in order to deal with complexity.

An abstraction is purpose specific. abstraction malleability enables to adapt abstractions to new purposes.

The abstraction spectrum allows to define an abstraction based on its level of abstraction.

The minformation spectrum classifies human's minformation based on its level of abstraction.

Any living being requires a system biological computation that is able to generate optimal abstractions to capture and navigate reality (perceptual abstraction).

humans can be differentiated from other living beings by its capacity to generate abstractions in arbitrary domains (conceptualization), as well as an un-bounded high-level of abstraction (constructs and narratives)

abstractions are the most fundamental primitive on any language.

language can be understood as a formal system of conceptual abstraction composition that produces higher level of abstractions as a result (more conceptual abstraction and narratives).

High-quality abstractions enables to reduce the total amount of information used by a system.

The intelligence and reasoning capacity of a human-like system is highly defined by the quality of the abstractions it uses and its ability to move through the abstraction spectrum to find an optimal level of abstraction
