Materialization: a powerful and ubiquitous abstraction pattern
Summary: Defines materialization quasi-formally as a class/metaclass relationship linking categories to concrete instances via is-a/is-of abstractions. Shows how it enables novel inheritance mechanisms and controlled, application-level classification in conceptual models. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
