I propose that we should try to overcome the long standing philosophical model of mind as singular serial computing entity, but instead try approaching it from the parallel computing angle; the literature is ripe with references to "a part of me wanted", and perhaps we should all take this as much more than allegory.

What philosophers or texts in particular do you have in mind here? I see how the question might be a bit beside the point, but I'm having a hard time coming up with examples of a 'single serial computing entity' as a view of the mind.
