From a structural standpoint, the text creates a coherent ladder: definitions → examples → constraints → application. That’s why the simulation arguments land. (Side note: if you like Game Physics: A Practical Introduction, you’ll likely enjoy this too.)

A friend asked what I learned and I could actually explain it—because the javascript chapter is built for recall.
