Summary

An Abstraction must link two different elements. An element cannot be its own Abstraction.

Details

An Abstraction should always link two different elements. This means that an element cannot be its own abstraction: it cannot abstract itself, since such an auto-abstraction would have no meaning.

Tips

Possible solutions to this problem are as follows:

  • Change one of the abstraction ends to attach it to another element.

  • Remove the incorrect abstraction.
