I think the proposed final layouts on the site are both missing the point.
All communication is done throu interfaces. Then it doesn't matter what
lays behind.

('Entity' here is anything communicated with. 'Object' is a software
entity. Interfaces are not really )

Incoming communication flow in these ways:
entity -> interface -> object
entity -> interface -> kernel
entity -> interface -> device driver => hardware
entity -> interface -> abstractor -> interface -> entity

Outgoing communication from the kernel:
kernel => hardware
kernel -> interface -> entity
