 ==== Specializations ====
-  * [[Fallacies of Distributed Computing]]: The eight fallacies of distributed computing are abstraction leaks which are typically present in distributed systems. Normally it is not possibly to prevent them (so there might not be a better abstraction) but it is important not to ignore these abstraction leaks.
 ==== Contrary Principles ====
-  * [[Keep It Simple Stupid]] (KISS): Creating good abstractions is sometimes complicated and ignoring leaks is simple.
 ==== Complementary Principles ====
-  * [[Murphy's Law]] (ML): According to ML, any abstraction leak will eventually result in a mistake.
-  * [[Model Principle]] (MP): ML might help finding the right abstraction, i.e. the one which is the least leaky.
-  * [[Rule of Explicitness]] (RoE): RoE is another way to look at abstractions. Often abstractions create a level of implicitness. Abstraction leaks are one reason why explicit solutions can be considered preferable.
-  * [[Easy to Use and Hard to Misuse]] (EUHM): The more an abstraction leaks, the less it can be considered hard to misuse.
