It was defined in the source code by satoshi himself from the first ever public copies of it.
// // The timechain is a tree shaped structure starting with the // genesis block at the root, with each block potentially having multiple // candidates to be the next block. pprev and pnext link a path through the // main/longest chain. A blockindex may have multiple pprev pointing back // to it, but pnext will only point forward to the longest branch, or will // be null if the block is not part of the longest chain.
