schematically

As a diagram

Schematically means in the form of a schema or diagram—showing relationships and structure rather than realistic detail.

An engineer might schematically represent a circuit, or a teacher might explain schematically how a process works.

The word suggests simplification for clarity: reducing complexity to essential patterns and connections.
