I stumbled upon this quote while reading about React (emphasis mine)
In React, data flows one way: from owner to child. This is because data only flows one direction in the Von Neumann model of computing.
React Docs: Two-Way Binding Helpers
It links to the Wikipedia article about the Von Neumann architecture but I think Wikipedia and some other sources don't say anything about data flow in regards to von Neumann architectures and/or models of computing. Dataflow architecture (no link because my reputation is below 10) gets mentioned here and there but it seems to be an alternative to von Neumann architectures.
I'm not so much interested in the React side of this, but more in the theory part which I did not find any material about.
