"What Abstraction Is"

1) What does Arnheim mean when he writes, "...in order to produce a sensible abstraction, a concept should be generative"? (174)
2) How does "container concepts" work in abstraction?
3) How does "types" work in abstraction?
4) How does static and dynamic concepts help us recognize patterns and movement? Refer to figure 51 on page 180.
5) If, "in human thinking, every concept is tentative, subject to modification by growth" then how do we generalize/categorize?
