What’s the backstory of what I’m calling the multicomputational paradigm? For me, the realization that one can formulate such a broad and general new paradigm is something that’s emerged only over the past year or so. But given what we now know it’s possible to go back and see a quite tangled web of indications and precursors of it stretching back decades and perhaps more than a century.
