Abstraction is, properly, the "quality" of an abstracting mechanism...by necessity of it's nature (lelz)...not of the abstracted item. That's what it means for something to be an representational abstraction in the first place.
The ones and zeros that denote some item x in amazons product lineup might be the same ones and zeros that denote another product in walmart.coms ...or it may be that different ones and zeros denote the same product between them. Nothing about that tells us about the qualities of the items. They aren;t made of ones and zeros and the ones and zeros don;t describe -them-...they describe their relationship to the abstracting mechanism, it's qualities, and would be unintelligible without reference to them. Just ones and zeros...apropos of nothing in particular.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
