The distinction you are making is right. All those examples are examples of visualization, not of direct programming.
But why can't we use what today are visual representations of the programs as the actual programs? Can't we have the state transition diagram that today is a visualization of the code _be_ the definition of the state transitions? That is the question the post is asking
In other words, elevate the visualizations that we already use into programming, instead of programming with visualizations we don't use.
