All I did was write a little extra code to transform the signal into a 
picture, and a few extra unit generators. Otherwise all the same code 
was used for audio and image.

There was no framework. The primitives and ugens were in SC3d5. You can 
probably find at least some of it there.

none to get the idea - it just evolved from what I was doing with OSC 
in SC2 and what I thought was wrong with the SC3d5 architecture and the 
best way to fix it.
Once I was implementing it I read man pages and browsed Advanced 
Programming in the UNIX Environment at the Borders cafe.

No. I think pictures do a poor job of representing software. The best 
way to diagram a C/C++ program in my mind is to write the headers. And 
the good part of that is then you have got a start on the 
implementation.
