Abstraction:

"By abstraction I mean an idealized empty-set, first-degree generalized statement such as one of my own, 'Let's take a piece of rope and tense it.' This refers to any rope and is a fist degree generalization."

(N.B. This same context appears in HOW LITTLE I KNOW, pp. 28-29, Oct. 1966)
