From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   von Neumann architecture
  
      A computer {architecture}
      conceived by mathematician {John von Neumann}, which forms the
      core of nearly every computer system in use today (regardless
      of size).   In contrast to a {Turing machine}, a von Neumann
      machine has a {random-access memory} (RAM) which means that
      each successive operation can read or write any memory
      location, independent of the location accessed by the previous
      operation.
  
      A von Neumann machine also has a {central processing unit}
      (CPU) with one or more {registers} that hold data that are
      being operated on.   The CPU has a set of built-in operations
      (its {instruction set}) that is far richer than with the
      Turing machine, e.g. adding two {binary} {integers}, or
      branching to another part of a program if the binary integer
      in some register is equal to zero ({conditional branch}).
  
      The CPU can interpret the contents of memory either as
      instructions or as data according to the {fetch-execute
      cycle}.
  
      Von Neumann considered {parallel computers} but recognized the
      problems of construction and hence settled for a sequential
      system.   For this reason, parallel computers are sometimes
      referred to as non-von Neumann architectures.
  
      A von Neumann machine can compute the same class of functions
      as a universal {Turing machine}.
  
      [Reference?   Was von Neumann's design, unlike Turing's,
      originally intended for physical implementation?   How did they
      influence each other?]

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   von Neumann integer
  
      A {finite} {von Neumann ordinal}.
  
      The von Neumann integer N is a {finite} set with N elements
      which are the von Neumann integers 0 to N-1.   Thus
  
      0 = {} = {}
      1 = {0} = {{}}
      2 = {0, 1} = {{}, {{}}}
      3 = {0, 1, 2} = {{}, {{}}, {{}, {{}}}}
      ...
  
      The set of von Neumann integers is {infinite}, even though
      each of its elements is finite.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   von Neumann ordinal
  
      An implementation of {ordinals} in {set theory}
      (e.g. {Zermelo Fränkel set theory} or {ZFC}).   The von Neumann
      ordinal alpha is the {well-ordered set} containing just the
      ordinals "shorter" than alpha.
  
      "Reasonable" set theories (like ZF) include Mostowski's
      Collapsing Theorem: any {well-ordered set} is {isomorphic} to
      a von Neumann ordinal.   In really screwy theories (e.g. NFU --
      New Foundations with Urelemente) this theorem is false.
  
      The finite von Neumann ordinals are the {von Neumann
      integers}.
