Comment on Unit: A visual programming system [video]

This is so eerily similar to a concept I've been thinking about for years. I want to base it off equations not functions though. Bidirectional value propagation. Figuring out how to make that work always stumped me.

I've thought about bidirectional value propagation too, but except for cases where no information is lost (e.g. cons) I'm similarly stumped (e.g. append). I've got bidirectional type propagation working though. There are bidirectional logic gates, e.g. Fredkin gate, but they operate on individual bits.
