Your question:

Consider these three things: A binary digit (e.g., 1 or 0), the flip-flop circuit diagram ( ), and the flip-flop circuit (i.e., the physical circuit). How would you arrange them from most abstract to least abstract and what criterion would you use to determine their order?

Abstract to Concrete Answer and Explanation

Intermediate: Flip-flop circuit diagram

• It's a visual representation of a physical circuit.

• It has a concrete structure and operates according to physical laws.

• It's the most concrete manifestation of the concept of a flip-flop.
