Let the reader, if he can, figure to himself this combination.

This is the approach of statified design, the notion that a complex system should be structured as a sequence of levels that are described using a sequence of languages.

The language used at each level of a stratified design has primitives, means of combination, and means of abstraction appropriate to that level of detail.
