A meme copying itself by impregnating multiple inventor’s minds with itself?

Independent co-invention happens so frequently that I wonder that there is still no established technical term for it (like cryptomnesia for the phenomenon when a forgotten memory leading to unintentional plagiarism), although Wikipedia has “Multiple discovery” and even a long list of examples.

I had essentially the same idea.

Incidentally, my cat’s name is Heisenberg, which makes his participation in the Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment more (in)appropriate somehow.
