Abstract at Bottom, Concrete at Top

  • The more general, abstract elements are at the bottom of a layered design stack.
  • The more specific, concrete elements are built on top, becoming increasingly particular to a domain or application.

Concrete at Bottom Alternate View

  • A common view places concrete work at the bottom, with abstractions layered above.
  • This contrasts with the previous model, showing abstraction is context-dependent.

  • Different perspectives on abstraction coexist and reveal unique insights.
  • We must choose a perspective to solve problems, using multiple views as tools rather than absolute truths.
