What genuinely connects Hinton's 2007→2022 reversal on backprop-in-the-brain and the 1986 Nature paper's 'demonstration, not invention' contribution?

Hinton's position on backpropagation-in-the-brain reversed over fifteen years — the 2007 talk tried to rescue it with a temporal-derivative mechanism; the 2022 Forward-Forward paper abandoned it

What Hinton argued in his 2007 talk 'How to do backpropagation in a brain' — and how it anticipates his later published critique

Does Hinton's Forward-Forward paper explicitly cite Boltzmann machines as a prototype, and how do contrastive Hebbian learning and equilibrium propagation relate as biologically plausible alternatives to backpropagation?

Hinton's Forward-Forward algorithm traces its own ancestry to Boltzmann machines — replacing backprop's backward pass with two forward passes
