In Combination
With regard to combination (or bundling) data, this is prevalent in any object that is created. An object's state will depend on its methods that do work on or with the object's internal data.
An analogy can be made here with the notion of a capsule, which not only encloses its contents, but also protects it from the exterior environment.

Famous quotes containing the word combination:
“So of the three methods: reason, sense, or a knowing combination of both, the last seems the least like a winner, the second problematic; only the first has some slim chance of succeeding through sheer perversity, which is possibly the only way to succeed at all.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Nature is an endless combination and repetition of a very few laws. She hums the old well-known air through innumerable variations.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
