Well, you could use CAD/CAM to produce a 3D Model of the
Flowchart :-D
I have actually worked on a digitalized version of an
analog circuit which was built from multipliers, etc.
I'm sure some algorithms could be put into a chip (like 3D
cards, but nowadays it's much more effective to use a
software/hardware combo than pure hardware.
It also has the advantage that it can be updated to fix
issues, or increase functionality.
Perhaps an example would make your point more clear ?
