Why it works
The opening turns an abstract operation into a concrete challenge by 0:59, then makes the mechanism visible with 16 numbered cells and arrows from 2:39 to 3:48. A first visual result at 4:09 and a candid critique at 4:27 create a new reason to keep watching. In the measured first six minutes, 103 shots and 56 internal graphic changes keep the otherwise dense teaching visually active.
