Yes, in order to be visual coding (or better yet specification) it needs to be executable in it's native form, or maybe a very direct translation. The concept of an executable specification first came to my attention in IEC 61499 the s

From what I can tell, I've built something similar, but a bit more niche, for industrial control and safety systems. Though it lends itself to wider applications of state based behaviour. It seems semi obvious to me this avenue is the
