...  Most fundamentally (and also the point at which you ALWAYS fail), it's how you demonstrate that something exists.  It turns the abstract concrete. If you can't explain how to measure something, then self-evidently you don't know what you are talking about.

Well said.

As I noted above Gary, it's not enough to provide an abstraction that captures just any old concrete item.
You have to be able to capture all, or very nearly all, of the concretes that properly fall under the abstraction.  
You must also reject all, or very very nearly all, concretes that do not properly all under the abstraction.

Your 'circuit diagram' pseudo-model fails (spectacularly) at this because it both captures things that do not fall under the concept and also fails to capture things that clearly do fall under the concept.

People have been pointing this sort of thing out to you for nigh unto 10 years now.  It takes a very special form of stupid to barge ahead and disregard these obvious flaws.
It takes a very special form of arrogance to assert that those who continue to point out the flaws you're ignoring are "just trolling".
