It's a matter of perspective. To someone who's job is to write the system which interprets ASM, ASM is high level

Exactly. For every level of abstraction, the abstractor is the high level and the abstractee is the lower level. Those aren't real words perhaps, but you get what I'm saying. It's all relative along the chain of abstraction.

Is it a chain though? I think it's more of a branching network that (almost?) always is stopped at quantum physics and it's theories or some form philosophy.

My mental model of it is a chain, yes. But you can define it however you like. It's just steps in some direction.

Maybe a cake would suit someone the best.
