I feel like this ties back to making general abstractions that anyone can make for any field. Software engineering is littered with abstractions to the point where 2 similar functioning applications can look wildly different when looking at their respective code bases.

Even the abstractions we build into programming languages invites a certain way of thinking which is why there’s so many different paradigms like functional, imperative, logic, declarative, etc.

Turing machines all the way down... for every Turing machine there are an infinite number of alternative descriptions that provide the same result.
