It wasn’t long before I realized something fundamental: that this was at its core a computational phenomenon. But it really wasn’t physics, or computer science, or math, or biology, or economics, or any known field. It’s important, by the way, to distinguish this from computer science. What is that science?

It didn’t help that his knowledge of physics was at best spotty (and, for example, I don’t think he ever really learned calculus). “Lick” Licklider —who persuaded Ed to join BBN to “teach them about computers”. Nowadays we’d call it the trie (or prefix tree) data structure. But his name shows up from time to time.
