block diagrams
Box-and-arrow visuals
Block diagrams are simplified illustrations showing how components of a system connect and interact, using labeled rectangles (blocks) linked by lines or arrows.
Engineers and scientists use them to represent circuits, processes, or organizational structures without detailed schematics: The block diagram showed how signals flow through the amplifier stages.
The focus is on relationships between parts rather than physical appearance.
