is different than Structural Abstraction. Structure sharing is not available in textual dialects.
In structure sharing, nodes in a network that share the same Linking Structure can be joined into a single node with multiple links. Entire subnetworks are replaced by links to shared Structure (Struktur).
Sharing joins together multiple references to the same form, while abstraction ignores selected features. [The occurrence of identical subpatterns within a Form. ⇒ Dnet Dialect]
Sharing is a property of Representation rather than reality. Human prejudice probably does not apply to structure sharing.
> The fluidity of object and reference in networks can be expressed as a transformation rule that is unique to this (and similar) dialects, structure sharing. In structure sharing, nodes in a network that share the same linking structure can be joined into a single node with multiple links. Entire subnetworks are replaced by links to shared structure. **Structure sharing is not available in textual dialects.** […] Multiple occurrence of the same variable in a textual dialect emulates shared structure in a network dialect. The absence of structure sharing in symbolic mathematics has lead to rampant replication of symbols and a presumption that replication is free. […], replication is the source of complexity.
We do have patent laws that adjudicate cases of structure sharing in creative works. [⇒ Establish Rules]
