Why it works
Shot 1 holds a fixed camera for 79.60 s while colored regions and equations change in place, allowing comparison across states. At 105.23 s the argument tests a tempting shortcut; hard cuts inside shot 5 at frames 5288 and 5677 pivot between examples and consequences. A 19.97 s end card gives the spoken takeaway room to settle.
