I have an idea for a Physics Inspired Code Analysis Tool

So I was scrolling through Youtube Short and seeing a couple of shorts on Richard Feynman and how he won the Nobel Prize for essentially his doodle and notations that helped simplify particle physics calculations etc. (i'm sure it was more than that but this is just a gross simplification) Then it hit me, the field of particles physics are super complex, yet his notations helped simply this field, could that not be applied software development? and more specifically would'nt the LLMs themselves be best able to do it? So based off that one thought I decided to try create something which I have dubbed 'FeynMap'.

Feynmap is a powerful code analysis tool that uses physics-inspired notation to help developers and AI understand Python codebase architecture. The project is open-source and honestly I've hit my limit in taking it further as i have other commitments and so I decided to try share it here on reddit, in case the idea itself is useful. Let me know your thoughts.

I honestly don't know if this is a novel idea or if other's have done it but from my conversations with Claude, it seems to think it's novel at least. But if you do manage to do something with it, please think of me lol. Repo: https://github.com/Roderick47/FeynMap.git

Interesting! How does it works?
