[BEAM-146] Remove references to multi-window representation from model Be sure to do all of the following to help us incorporate your contribution quickly and easily: - [x] Make sure the PR title is formatted like: `[BEAM-<Jira issue #>] Description of pull request` - [x] Make sure tests pass via `mvn clean verify`.

However, the model itself views elements in different windows as fully independent, so the SDK should not place any obligation on the part of the runner or user to use a particular representation. This change removes those places in the SDK where an element is treated in multiple windows at once.
