Superstitious learning in Computer Architecture

Perhaps we here (including myself) have been coming at the various architectural issues from entirely the wrong direction! I have posted a paper giving my own (warped) version of computer history that explains the present architectural mess!

It seems astonishing that "modern" systems are missing some key concepts that were first incorporated in some early vacuum tube computers!

I am sure that others here have other/better pieces of this story, which I will be only too glad to include if you will just post or send them to me.

My theory: Include this history (or perhaps an edited down version of it) along with any advanced proposals that you might make, as a mechanism to show that your work is indeed ON track for an orderly evolution of computing, rather than off-track as it might first appear.

Also, I should probably include some HTML # indexes so that proposals can hyperlink directly into the historical account to document exactly where things went wrong.

Anyway, here is the hyperlink to my evolving historical account.

Any thoughts, ideas, contributions, hyperlinks, etc., will be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.
