He made so many discoveries in so many fields that people had to stop naming them “von Neumann’s Law”
There were, no, still are two things referred to as “von neumann machines”, self-replicating machines (a concept that barely needed to be named after von neumann given that nature invented them long ago) and the CPU^memory distinction (which we can call the von neumann architecture).
