+- The larger problem is decomposed into 'things' that make sense for
+  the problem domain 
+
+- Each 'thing' is a capsule of data that exposes procedures to the
+  rest of the world
+
+- Data is never accessed directly, only through these procedures
+
+- Capsules can reappropriate procedures defined in other capsules
