A

Ada Lovelace

Pioneer of algorithmics; reframes computing as method and rigorous attribution.

Algorithm

Finite, ordered, and traceable sequence of operations; the “grammar” of modern code.

C

Punch cards

Input medium for instructions and data used to control the machine.

E

Analytical Engine

Separation of calculation (“mill”) and memory (“store”); foundation of programmability.

I

Iteration

Repeating a part of the plan with updated values (idea of loops).

L

The Forgotten Women of History

Works that recount and reassign credit based on archival research.

N

Note G

Plan of operations (Bernoulli), often presented as one of the first published “programs”.

R

“Radioactive” (film)

Biopic by Marjane Satrapi showing method, credit, and its fragilities around Marie Curie.

T

Traceability / Proof

Naming, dating, and archiving to link a result to its author; a central antidote to invisibilization.
