My 2c: abstaction, generalization, & pattern recognition is the same
process,- discovery of common (invariant) features. Generality is
range*precision of the commonality, what I call accumulated match,
which is the only possible predictor of future match (a quantifier of
induction). Again, many different words that really mean the same
thing.
