(Also deadass I’m an illustrator, if you’re still confused just based on a written description I can try and make a diagram, maybe even make it a gif or something to throw some simple animation in there. Haven’t had the chance to really test out my diagram illustration chops before so I’m also pretty curious for my own sake lol)
