Processing seems to be an interesting place to start when consdiering a visual representation of my thoughts thus far. It visually expresses code and can do so to quite a complex level, to the point where it can handle whole libraries of data in interesting ways.

Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions. It is used by students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists for learning, prototyping, and production. It is created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook and professional production tool.

Some results from the introductory tutorials. I will endeavor to explore more complex projects, but also look into other tools to express node interactions in a visual manner.
