If you have one touring machine processing two inputs, you have to implement
some form of flow control and hope that the inputs will respond to that.

In the human model, if two people are in the same room talking, you can only
hear one of them, you try to convince one of them to stop talking and wait
for you to give your full attention to that person, or you ignore what he is
saying.

Note that it is possible to not get processible information from either
input.
