The question of how concepts and algorithms are represented is interesting. While this is a neat project, a lot of people including myself might say that a "visual" representation of code is actually more confusing. Perhaps it's because textual representations are 1-dimensional i.e. the representation of code as text can only grow in one direction. This makes it inherently simple in some sense.

Granted backprop and neural networks are really simple one dimensional algorithms.
