Good morning WK,

How about we use what Oxford is publishing.... (to define a fact) Just a thought

fact

Line breaks: fact

noun

1A thing that is known or proved to be true: the most commonly known fact about hedgehogs is that they have fleas [mass noun]: a body of fact
More example sentences
  • So go and see it with your own eyes and discover for yourself if it is an historical fact.
  • It is a sad fact that when a litter of pigs is born, it is quite normal to have one or two born dead.
  • It is a fact that most of those who are on the street have an addiction to drugs or alcohol.
  • Get more examples
Synonyms
1.1 (facts) Information used as evidence or as part of a report or news article: even the most inventive journalism peters out without facts, and in this case there were no facts
More example sentences
  • The primary facts thus are the evidence of the ceremony that is valid according to local law.
  • In all cases, we have to distill the facts from the various reports and documents.
  • Who knows what the true facts of this case are but there is certainly more to it than meets the eye.
  • Get more examples
Synonyms
detail, piece of information, particular, item, specific, element, point, factor, feature, characteristic, respect, ingredient, attribute, circumstance, consideration, aspect, facet; (facts)information, itemized information, whole story
informal info, gen, low-down, score, dope
1.2 (the fact that) Used to refer to a particular situation under discussion: despite the fact that I’m so tired, sleep is elusive
More example sentences
  • The judge did not refer the jury to the fact that a mistaken witness can be a convincing one.
  • It's not the fact that to get to the crew room I have to go up two flights of stairs and down three.
  • We want Kirklees Council to respect the fact that most of us want to stay on the estate.
  • Get more examples
1.3 [mass noun] chiefly Law The truth about events as opposed to interpretation: there was a question of fact as to whether they had received the letter

Hopefully this approach will enable the lot of us to spend far less time verifying statements made by members of this board.

Hence, I am not sure where you are going with the term Abstract Fact...
