Abstractions. They make it easier for a human to understand. We need abstractions to fit systems into our working memory. Agents dont.

Agents don’t have infinite working memory…

LLMs benefit from abstractions for the same reasons that humans do. More information in the same amount of text. Fewer working parts to juggle so fewer ways to make mistakes.
