Memory is the linearly addressable storage that holds a running program's instructions and data. In the von Neumann model, it works alongside hardware registers and a finite instruction set. section 13.5
From C storage to memory locations
Assembler makes storage concrete: a generated instruction can store 0 at a location below the base pointer, while another loads a value from a memory address held in a register. This connects automatic storage duration with stack-based memory locations without treating C variables as merely abstract names. section 13.5
