In the SF of van Vogt, spring-boarding from _General Symantics_

which case a complete description of the API would require
a complete description of the object, which would be the
object itself. And this is especially true when it comes to
sub-classing.
On the other hand, the most accurate map of a land is the
land itself. But such a 1:1 scale map would be utterly useless as
a map. I suspect the same is true when it comes to sub-classing.
