Perhaps our discussion is going beside itself it the threads.
I would like to use the example code that I posted elsewhere
and neglect the javafx.beans.binding package, in particular
the NumberBinding interface if that is acceptable.

If so I will reproduce the example here.
You'll need access to the JavaFX documentation, located here:

import javafx.beans.property.IntegerProperty;
import javafx.beans.property.SimpleIntegerProperty;

public class Main
{ public static void main(String[] args)
   {

     final IntegerProperty height
     = new SimpleIntegerProperty();

     final IntegerProperty number
     = new SimpleIntegerProperty();

     final IntegerProperty spaces
     = new SimpleIntegerProperty();

     spaces.bind(height.subtract(number));

     height.set(10);
     number.set(2);
     System.out.print(spaces.get()); // 8

     spaces.unbind();
     height.set(20);
     System.out.print(spaces.get()); // 8

} }

Here spaces is a SimpleIntegerProperty, a subclass of
IntegerPropertyBase which is an implementation of the
Property<T> interface. IntegerPropertyBase is where the
Property.bind(ObservableValue<? extends T> observable) and
Property.unbind() are implemented.

The expression height.subtract(number) creates an
ObservableValue<Number>, through NumberExpression ( so much
for neglecting the javafx.beans.binding package) which
IntegerPropertyBase uses to bind height and number to spaces
as specified in his documentation.

As I stated elsewhere, the plethora of mixin interfaces
makes it difficult (for me) to discuss, but writing code
that uses it is simple.
