I just went to submit this myself. It's one of the most enjoyable math explainers I've seen in a while, I love exploring these multidimensional graphs that describe so much about everyday life.

Thank you. Now I have loads more videos to watch. "Mandelbrot's Evil Twin" is kind of crazy trying to visualize a 6-dimensional space in my head.

Thanks for posting. So much knowledge and skill required to create such a video.

I love the presentation/teaching concept for the SS. However, the wiggly, bouncy animation is an unnecessary distraction.

I think it's a side effect of the graph layout algorithm.
It seems all nodes repel and edges are elastic, so the layout algorithm is kind of like a physical simulation (think magnetic monopoles and rubber bands).
He seems to throw new nodes near the originating node, and lets the simulation stabilize.

Yeah, I get that, but if I want to see the difference in configurations, I can't because they keep bouncing and that's not even a property of the SS.

Speaking for myself, it helps to direct my visual attention to the changes happening in the graph as they are introduced. I find it helpful.

Aside from nice animations and pleasing graphs, does this provide any intuition or insight?

Beautiful visualization and presentation of this topic. It's not mentioned in the video, but the base mathematical puzzle shown is the classic traffic puzzle game "Rush hour".
