Why it works
A present-day conflict opens at 0:00, and the map-history promise lands by 0:12. The fixed atlas design carries 163 territory, label and year changes across the measured six minutes; the dense local map at 0:39–0:44 is the top replay moment. These changes add progress even though the detector reports one continuous shot.
