Beyond model-view-controller, what would anchors and routes be classified as?  Looking at abstract architecture in a bit…

Thanks to David Ciemiwicz (and Miles Standish) for Data/Algorithm/Visualization.  Thanks to PostScript for symbol/shape/grid.   Others should be credited too.

It’s important to visualize the algorithms in some kind of recorder/editor/script.  But visualization of visualization is problematic at large scales.   It’s also important to visualize data in some way.

Well?   What’s out there that’s not strictly character/code point based?   Can we start by visualizing 3D algorithms/routes, possibly 3D?
