What if we could transform complicated code across an entire codebase into a grid of glyphs, that could be read from left to right, top to bottom to tell the entire story of what the code does to that thing you picked.
Those glyphs tell the story of what the program does to the subject glyph
Where
every juxtaposition of the glyph means something.

A Unicode symbol of common programming operations. |
|
| |
Such as initialize defaults of structure. |

You could use ∑ sigma symbol to mean "all" and Պ tp re[resemt "set all default values" |

I can open chrome sourcecode in this theoretical tool then ask "how does this url https://github.com/" get processed. |
|
| |
Then I am presented with a screen of glyphs that looks like nonsense but if you were to read it, it would accurately describe what it did to the URL and everything caused by it. |

So is this just a find-and-replace of existing code to make it human readable? Or is this a completely new standalone programming language? |
|

This is used to explain existing code, it is not a programming language. |

Sounds like you're watching a flowchart actively digest the program's input. |
