I mean the abstraction of the C memory model...

i.e. " ..one or more contiguous sequences of bytes. Each byte in 
memory has a unique address." This is still an appropriate 
abstraction, even in modern times.

When working at a low-level, this is still, even today, an 
appropriate and suitable abstraction, on which to build your 
ideas.

No language can model 'actual hardware', and even if it could, 
the human brain could never use such a language.
