Abstract
We are developing a new paradigm of explanation-oriented languages whose objective is not only to describe the computation of values, but also to provide explanations of how and why those values are obtained. We have begun exploring this approach in the design of a visual notation for strategies in game theory. We plan to apply these ideas to other domains of public interest to both benefit those domains and to expand and solidify the theory behind explanation-oriented design.
