Everything about Level Of Abstraction totally explained

» 'level of abstraction' redirects here. For the concept in computer science, see Abstraction layer.

The principle of abstraction is a grouping principle, whereby a hierarchy is adhered to with higher levels of abstraction placed near the top with more specific concepts underneath.
   In argument mapping, the principle of abstraction requires that subjective conclusions are supported by less subjective lemmas, which are eventually supported by objective, or near objective premises and/or basis boxes.

Example

For the teaching (not personnel) organization of a university the levels of abstraction would go something like this.
   University » Faculty of Science


   :Department of Physics » ::Subject - Physics 101


   :::Topic - Fluid dynamics » :Department of Earth Sciences


   :Department of Biology » Faculty of Arts


   :Department of History » ::Australian History


   :::1850-1854 Victorian Gold rush » :Department of Philosophy


   :Department of Literature » Faculty of Medicine
