Why it works
The first globe completes as narration begins near 1 s, so the viewer hears a claim while seeing its model built. The side-view comparison around 55–58 s isolates the counterintuitive direction, matching the strongest replay window in the v1 facts; the internal hard changes at f652 and f1567 reset the visual model without breaking the spoken chain.
