Physics Processes - Programming Framework Analysis

This document presents physics processes analyzed using the Programming Framework methodology. Each process is represented as a computational flowchart with standardized color coding: Red for triggers/inputs, Yellow for structures/objects, Green for processing/operations, Blue for intermediates/states, and Violet for products/outputs. Yellow nodes use black text for optimal readability, while all other colors use white text.
