Mastering Complexity
Problem: Formulas become very large.
Complex objects and properties.
Solution: Introduce new function- and predicate-constants.
Capture under single name an object respectively property whose
description with the help of the basic constants is very large.
- Abstraction
- Refer to complex notion just by a name.
- Not necessary to repeat its description over and over again.
- Parameterization
- Refer to common core of similar notions by a name.
- Use parameters to distinguish between different instances.
