Abstract
Abstract has many uses, and has been used 170 times on this site, but hasn't been "done" by Doc G. An abstract can be a summary at the head of a journal article, sometimes free as opposed to the article itself. It can be opposed to concrete, as when a child thinks concretely until he or she becomes capable of abstract thought in the teens. It can point to non-representational art as opposed to realism or another school. Its basic meaning is to draw (tract) from (ab) or out of, as collecting points for reflection from a book, article, or subject. One can also think abstractly without becoming pinned down to a definite reality.

So I guess you're looking to see the Good Doctor's abstract on abstract?
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.

Re: Abstract
From the original dates on several of your posts today, I would abstract that you have been prowling the past again...

Aye, I had very limited Internet access for a while and am only now catching up on the posts I never got to read.
