is a fundamental component of computer graphics. At the highest level of Abstraction, rendering is the process of converting a description of a three-dimensional Scene into an Image.
Algorithms for animation, geometric modeling, texturing, and other areas of computer graphics all must pass their results through some sort of rendering process so that they can be made visible in an image. Rendering has become ubiquitous; from movies to games and beyond, it has opened new frontiers for creative expression, entertainment, and visualization. -- Physically Based Rendering: Preface

Probably the most critical factor contributing to the structure of natural languages in addition to semiotic constraints is the need to communicate symbolically in real time.
The key to Noam Chomsky’s original insight into the structure of language can probably be characterized as recognizing that natural language syntax can be modeled as a Turing Machine. In abstract form a Turing machine can be understood as a set of rules for writing erasing and rewriting strings of characters, in which these rules are also encoded as character strings that can be treated the same way. Rendering an operation in these terms makes it possible to automate any finite determinate process (from robotic behavior to mathematical calculatio
