Data reification normally involves the explicit positing of an abstraction function with certain properties. However, the condition for one definition to reify another only requires that a function with such properties should exist. This suggests that it may be possible to carry through a data reification without giving an explicit definition of the abstraction function at all. This paper explores this possibility and compares it with the more conventional approach.
