OK, let me try myself, please correct me:
An abstraction is a Pd patch which is used like an object in another Pd
patch.
A subpatch is saved within the main patch and is constructed with [pd
{name}]. Multiple subpatches with the same name may coexist.
Subwindow is the umbrella term for both of the prior terms.
If someone can confirm that the above definition is true, I will make
some pull requests to the documentation/ help files since it isn't
consistent. The pd~-help for example.

In the helpfiles and on this list the three words
'abstraction'
'subpatch' or 'sub-patch'
'subwindow'
are used. could someone provide a definition of those? I suspect they
aren't used in a consistent way throughout the documentation.
