'''Hypostatic abstraction''' is a [[is::formal operation]] that takes an element of information, as expressed in a proposition <math>X\ \operatorname{is}\ Y,</math> and conceives its information to consist in the relation between that subject and another subject, as expressed in the proposition <math>X\ \operatorname{has}\ Y\!\operatorname{-ness}.</math>  The existence of the abstract subject <math>Y\!\operatorname{-ness}</math> consists solely in the truth of those propositions that contain the concrete predicate <math>Y.\!</math>  Hypostatic abstraction is known under many names, for example, ''[[aka::hypostasis]]'', ''[[aka::objectification]]'', ''[[aka::reification]]'', and ''[[aka::subjectal abstraction]]''.  The object of discussion or thought thus introduced is termed a ''[[hypostatic object]]''.
