Why it works
The claim lands by 0:04, and a three-axis triangle introduced around 0:29 organizes the next several minutes. A concrete side-by-side code test at 4:31 turns the argument into something viewers can inspect; its 4:48–4:56 sequence is the strongest replay peak. The sparse charcoal, lavender, and pink system keeps complex ideas legible, though the measured excerpt is too long and slow for this library's reusable short-video reference standard.
