We have seen that pointers can be different even when they point to the same address, and that a byte is more than just a number in `0..256`.[^4]
With this, I think we are ready to look at a first draft of my "2018 memory model" (working title ;) -- in the next post. :)

[^4]: And just to be clear, I am talking about a pointer or byte in the model of an optimized *programming language* here. When modeling hardware, everything is different.
