Given we've got Matt Parker and Excel on the front page at the same time, it feels like I have to recommend this video of both: [this video]

3b1b uses a python library for creating those videos. [LINK] As far as a math educator/communicator, one of my favorite videos of his is the video on the monster. [LINK] Also since we're talking about powerpoint here you should probably see this Matt Parker video about excel being used in ways it shouldn't maybe? [this video]

Warning: Bit of a 'Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy"/conway game of life yak shave for a reply. Nice start to providing a simple way to visually interact/experiment/manipulate different multiple Neural network concepts by loading/transforming any traditional code (working or not) & reshuffling/tesselating the structual representation of the code to generate a turing tape path via color execution paths. Switching to pi calculus could provide the theory to support coroutine/coprossing/ threading" multiple interacting tape paths/color combinations/path diffs/scaled recusion to perform assembly language instructions. Raster graphics without the yak ( [LINK] ) Feed back between tape & "traditiona

On the 'more animated' side of things : [LINK] ** different visual demonstrations : [LINK] Edward Tufte has looked at various ways to present data : [LINK] / [LINK] ** Make the quantum leap and use fennman diagrams to construct the network ( [LINK] ) ** So, could take the idea of scatter plot matrix in [LINK] and use the various plots to literally build a picture as represented in Excel cells as "picture" : [this video] and [LINK] Hypercastle explorer for terraforms : [LINK] Although, that kind of starts to get into coding. ;) [LINK] [LINK] [LINK] [LINK] ** Obligitory HN 'lisp' link : [LINK]

Or association of lables/groups of actions with binary unit encodings[3]. aka programming languages (integration) and binary encodings (differentiation of groups of bits associate with programming language feature(s) into how relates/associates with underlying hardware aka compilation or on line by line basis via scripting). programming language 'type' punning gives programmer way to use/access an associated encoding (typically binary) and programming language abstraction[2][3]. aka ieee floating point specification[1][2] -- programming language level -- just the typical human readable number notation vs. binary encoding is just linear group of bits, where portion is number, portion is expon

Review/look at anything that has an abstraction / implimentation aspect (aka protocols / specifications / design implimentations / public "source material") . Examine how things are stratified (deterministic vs. context sensitive 'deterministic group(s)' -- and what influences determinism/context sensitivity). aka iso/osi network communications model[4].
