Information as Background Noise Texture of A Visual Language [a diagram showing 'Earths Radius =' followed by a rectangular box, with a dotted line connecting a circle to a mathematical square root expression containing 'Earths Radius over 2'. To the right, an arrow points to a modified version of the same square root expression where a solid line connects a circle above the text to the frame of the radical.] I was thinking that inside of the visual language; there can be visual references to the identifiers, these are rendered with so much little opacity that they feel like background noise; but you see them. Once someone hovers on them; you see the connections becoming visible. What I want from them [FERMATA] is to have layers and layers of information in the background looking as the texture; noise; I want the beauty to be generated from the information.

Information As Background Noise Texture Of A Visual Language
The problem in languages like Scratch is just how limiting their visual type notations are. But! [a drawing of a skeleton key where the bit is a jagged waveform; a drawing showing a 'Block' containing '123' with a jagged bottom edge and a 'Placeholder' block with a matching jagged top cutout; a figure showing a pipeline from 'Type' to 'Hasher' to 'Shortener' to 'Waver' (a graph with vertical lines and a wave), labeled 'unique visual shape of a type'] I was thinking about these signatures inside keys; and I was thinking these could be magnificent ways to indicate types in visual languages. Type 'Number' -> Hasher 854567 235127 894267 -> Shortener 854567 -> Waver 8 5 4 5 6 7 (unique visual shape of a type) [And it shows a key with shapes of heights 8, 5, 4, 5, 6, 7, like a physical key]

Type Key Shapes For Visual Languages
[a perspective drawing showing an eye and an arm interacting with three nested rectangular planes labeled 'Z-AXIS'; a separate smaller diagram in the top right showing a large rectangle containing a smaller one, with arrows pointing to them labeled 'Previous layer being pushed back' and 'Element being zoomed and elevated to the top' respectively] I want information to be layered. I want a new layer; be displayed on top of the previous layers with them going to the back and information to pop up. The Z as 'Meta' Layer. Perhaps typical; but just a wish. Previous layer being pushed back Element being zoomed and elevated to the top

Z-Axis as The Meta Level Of Information Axis
