Meaning is conveyed by anything that is meant to convey meaning, be it
words, grunts, connections between gears, flowcharts, hearldry symbols,
colours... etc. Pictorial representations will eventually assume a more
prominant role in general programming. Software audio synthesizers, CAD
histories, UML.. etc already use flowchart style, graphical representations
and are none the less rigorous for it.
