Notes / Ideas

Tangible values may go well together with annotated lambda diagrams.
See:

That is because:
ALDs always are a value.
ALDs typically leave a triangular unused whitespace (blackspace in dark mode) where tangible values coud be fitted in. Perhaps even more whitespace than textual code. Relative scales between ALD and TV could be see-saw scaled depending on priotity of what one wants to see more.

The original idea of TVs is to hide code fully.
It might be beneficial though to allow associated code to be displayed. And given ALD seem like the "middlest" midpoint between graphical and textual code representation, it might be not as disruptive to add ALDs to TVs as to add pure textual code to TVs.
