Hi @Joseph Anglada, did you have any further progress with this?

Joseph have you had any progress on this? Seems like very interesting idea and you should probably look into Graph functionality.

Hi Joseph,

I guess I'm a bit confused. In your first diagram, how can you infer that the upper 2 and 3 means 2^3 and not 2*3, 2+3, etc?

Also how does your idea scale with arbitrary functions? For example can you make a diagram for y = sin(2x)?

p.s. Have you seen the function TreeForm?

TreeForm[y == m x + b]

Have you seen this example

neat example

and did you know that physicist Richard P. Feynman (a big diagramatic person, by the way) in his youth used to use his own symbolics because he felt the official (common-sense) notation awkward and confusing ... later on the wish to be understood and to be able to communicate with others let him switch back to the usual notation (invented on its own by some mindful people, too) ...

This probably could be implemented in Wolfram Language. Do you have any code for this - I have not seen any Mathematica files in your linked GitHub repository.

Another question. How do you suggest dealing with self-overlapping branches for large enough expressions? First thing that comes to mind is scaling down the branch size on deeper tree levels.
