CT is a set of cognitive and metacognitive strategies paired with processes and methods of computer science (analysis, abstraction, modelling).
But unlike some who let their pieces be entirely dictated by the whims of the elements, the Los Angeles-based artist remains involved with the process, exerting a measure of control over his science-based abstractions.
This applies to software ranging from low-level components like systemd, to the cameras and other IoT devices recently press-ganged into massive DDoS attacks —. — to high-level science-fictional abstractions like the $150 million Ethereum DAO catastrophe.

Science, that wonderful abstraction, may have an answer.
While computer science does involve abstraction, it is not quite in the same way.
Programming is more than just coding, for, it exposes students to computational thinking which involves problem-solving using computer science concepts like abstraction and decomposition.
Some of these variables also help to structure problems in other sciences (e.g., abstraction and connectivity), but this specific combination of variables structures developmental biology, especially the juxtaposition of temporality and spatial composition.
Critics of the new mechanical philosophy have pushed on the importance of abstraction in science, drawing attention to the above discussions of completeness.
