"Abstract_State" indicates names you use to represent package state in a
package specification.

In the package body you then use "Refined_State" to map the abstract
states to actual variables declared inside package.

Section 4.3 in "Building High Integrity Applications with SPARK"
explains it rather well.

Greetings,

Jacob
