> there's SPICE for regular electronic circuits and SysVerilog et al for logic circuits
Both are inputs for programs, not actual representations for humans to work with and -understand. Try and design or better yet fix actual hardware with a SPICE netlist or Verilog program, good luck with that. Different use cases require different representations and the world doesn't just consist of software.

Category theory diagrams are not curves or function plots.
I get the feeling that you are confusing file formats with representation.
If I need external software to actually render the input (which can be binary or text for all I care) into a human-readable and -consumable format, what good is text?
What's the "readability" of an SVG, LaTex, or worse - MS DOCX - document?
How is this:
Example netlist
v1 1 0 dc 15
r1 1 0 2.2k
r2 1 2 3.3k
r3 2 0 150
.end

even remotely comparable to this: https://sub.allaboutcircuits.com/images/01004.pngAnd again, I'm not talking about document formats for software - I'm talking about data representation for humans.
