Abstract: An abstraction provides a statement of the properties of a data type without any commitment to a specific implementation. Programs which use abstractions can be developed and verified without regard to how the abstraction will be realized. Any type which fulfills the requirements of the abstraction can be bound in its place without affecting the program's correctness or its proof.
