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:
“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)
“By the “mud-sill” theory it is assumed that labor and education are incompatible; and any practical combination of them impossible. According to that theory, a blind horse upon a tread-mill, is a perfect illustration of what a laborer should be—all the better for being blind, that he could not tread out of place, or kick understandingly.... Free labor insists on universal education.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
