Show HN: Wirewright, an experimental symbolic physics environment

Score: 6.3/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 9, Documentation: 5, Utility: 3)

Wirewright is an experimental symbolic physics environment that models computation as the evolution of immutable symbolic structures, blurring the lines between data, code, and UI. It features a custom term rewriting system, a hypergraph rewrite engine (D7), and a physics-inspired approach to simulation. This project is interesting for its novel conceptual framework, but remains highly experimental with no practical utility yet.

Target audience: researchers and language designers
