For example an automobile can be thought of as an emitter of pollution, if your problem concerns pollution, or, it can be thought of as a particle, if your problem concerns traffic congestion.
The auto "fits" into each of these different problem domains.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm still not seeing the connection to algebra?
He means "algebra" in the "universal algebra" sense of the word: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_algebra
That probay doesn't clarify the connection, but at least you'll be pointed in the right direction! :)
