Abstract
The theory and methods for a completely visual formalism for programs and their executions are presented. The appearance, and not the construction, completely describes programs, data, and states of execution. Programs, their model of execution, and their execution traces are visualized in the same pictorial terms. A list of advantages of this visual formalism is given. A case study using the Janus language is presented
