some possible examples:

security with cryptography is mostly about logical level problems, where each key or operation forms a layer or box. treating these as discrete states or things is also an abstraction over a seqential folding and mixing process.

debugging a service over a network has the whole stack as logical layers.

most product management is solving technical problems at a higher level of abstraction.

a sequence diagram can be a multi-layered abstraction rotated 90 degrees, etc.
