Why it works
The title becomes legible near 0.5 s and relief appears behind it before the fourth second, so the visual answer follows the promise quickly. A persistent key and ruler make growing masks readable, while the regional-map-to-globe shift near 1:10 and ocean routes near 1:39 widen the story within one measured shot. The replay peak at 1:04.0–1:05.5 coincides with a labelled origin and expanding coverage.
