Rather than try to give an over-simplified and misleading definition here, I encourage you to read over the following and develop your own sense of "abstracting". However, FIDO's capacity to make inferences or related associations is finite, unlike a human's. Through my sensing organs and nervous system, I 'create' sights, sounds, smells, etc. The lines, or strings, which connect the Object level to the Event level represent a specific aspect or characteristic of WIGO that I can sense and experience in some non-verbal way.
