Because sentence and paragraph are a model of organization of the whole..
Each sentence is immediately followed by the next sentence.. Each paragraph
is followed by the next paragraph. Same for word.. byte.. characer..
each word follows the next.. each octet follows the next..
All document context is in some line... some sentence.. some paragraph..
some section.. Like coordinates on the map.

But abstract element?
