What in the world could your point be?
Yes, currying has something to do with abstraction. No, knowing what currying is does not imply that you understand abstraction in mathematics. No, the fact that you know what currying is does not imply that any of the nonsense you've posted these last few weeks is correct.
Currying is a concept in computer science. If f(x,y) is a binary function then the curried function f(x) is an unary function such that f(x)(y) = f(x,y). So what?
