The noun 'abstraction' is a word for the act or process of taking away or removing characteristics from something in order to reduce it to a set of essential characteristics; the quality of dealing with ideas rather than substance; artwork that does not represent the actual physical form of its subject.

In mathematics, abstraction is the process of extracting the underlying essence of a mathematical concept, removing any dependence on real world objects with which it might originally have been connected.
