Ideas for markup language that can describe modular patches.

Ideally, output is a conceptual flow chart of patches. Additionally, patch construction can be done in an interactive shell, or via a patch file that provides intuituve shorthand for patch markup.

Use cases:

• random patch generation

• patch "type checking"

• brevity in expressing/sharing LARGE patches

  • the trade off being you have to learn the language

Idea is to place burden of patch notation on module notation, as opposed to connection notation. It's inconvinent to specific the module, but this can be community sourced and then should be trivially easy to do patch notation. See below example.

Syntax would look something like:
