Why it works
A dark, text-free center holds the first three seconds, so narration can pose the visual mystery before any diagram competes with it. The component-to-radial hand-off at frames 744–754 preserves a focal point as the explanation changes scale; later, the human-viewpoint passage and end-state diagrams turn an abstract object into felt consequences.
