Abstract in a sentence

This abstract machine over-approximates the behaviours of the system: the abstract system is thus made simpler to analyze, at the expense of incompleteness (not every property true of the original system is true of the abstract system).

As I started to look more at the art world, I began to move away from abstract expressionism and moved more into abstract portraits, figures and landscapes.

In general, when people think of politics they do not think of abstract principles, but those abstract principles are fundamental because without them you cannot move on to strategically organized action.

Abstract algebra Abstract algebra employs several types of sequences, including sequences of mathematical objects such as groups or rings.

Abstract characterization We begin with the abstract characterization of C*-algebras given in the 1943 paper by Gelfand and Naimark.

Abstract characters The set of graphic and format characters defined by Unicode does not correspond directly to the repertoire of abstract characters that is representable under Unicode.

Abstract data types can be specified in terms of their operational semantics on an abstract machine.

Abstract interpretation of computer programs Given a programming or specification language, abstract interpretation consists of giving several semantics linked by relations of abstraction.

Abstract sensation would be aesthetic as opposed to sensuous sensation and abstract intuition would be symbolic as opposed to fantastic intuition.

An abstract class may provide implementations of some methods, and may also specify virtual methods via signatures that are to be implemented by direct or indirect descendants of the abstract class.

At the close of the 20th century these latter ideas merged with other work on incidence complexes to create the modern idea of an abstract polyhedron (as an abstract 3-polytope), notably presented by McMullen and Schulte.

Branches Automata theory main Automata theory is the study of abstract machines (or more appropriately, abstract 'mathematical' machines or systems) and the computational problems that can be solved using these machines.

Character repertoire (the abstract list of characters): The character repertoire is an abstract list of more than one million characters found in a wide variety of scripts including Latin, Cyrillic, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Hebrew, and Aramaic.

However, the formula, abstract-negative-concrete, suggests a flaw, or perhaps an incomplete-ness, in any initial thesis—it is too abstract and lacks the negative of trial, error, and experience.

In general, the objects and arrows may be abstract entities of any kind, and the notion of category provides a fundamental and abstract way to describe mathematical entities and their relationships.

In the physics literature, abstract spinor indices are often used to denote spinors even when an abstract spinor construction is used.

Introduction Abstract data types are purely theoretical entities, used (among other things) to simplify the description of abstract algorithms, to classify and evaluate data structures, and to formally describe the type systems of programming languages.

John Macquarrie, Existentialism (Pelican, 1973, page 110) Marcel contrasted secondary reflection with abstract, scientific-technical primary reflection, which he associated with the activity of the abstract Cartesian ego.

Kierkegaard does not deny the fruitfulness or validity of abstract thinking (science, logic, and so on), but he does deny any superstition which pretends that abstract theorizing is a sufficient concluding argument for human existence.

Mill, on the other hand, tried to deny that abstract ideas exist outside the physical world: all numbers, he said, "must be numbers of something: there are no such things as numbers in the abstract".
