The abstract theory presented is Green's Theorem applied to plane regions bounded by continuous curves, specifically utilizing line integrals of vector fields to calculate scalar properties such as area and moments of inertia. This method relies on the formal definitions where a region $D$ in the Cartesian plane is parameterized by boundary paths $\mathcal{C}$ with specified orientations (typically counter-clockwise), converting double integrals over the domain into single line integrals along the perimeter via relationships like $\iint_D dA = \oint_{\partial D} -y dx + x dy$. As a core mechanism within vector calculus and differential geometry, it provides an alternative computational framework for determining centroids by relating interior mass distribution to boundary circulation conditions.
