Physical power is measured in watts, joules per unit of time.

Abstract power is measured in bits, information or uncertainty reduction per unit of time.

If a persuasive politician can give a speech and reduce the listeners level of uncertainty by the information he provides (whether that information is accurate or completely fallacious and designed to deceive the listeners) more than his opponent can over the course of one hour, he has measurably more abstract power than his opponent.
