Write an explainer video script. Concept to explain: [CONCEPT]. Audience and what they already know: [AUDIENCE_KNOWLEDGE]. Length: [LENGTH]. Facts and sources I trust: [SOURCES]. Visual style (animation, whiteboard, screen recording, live action): [VISUAL_STYLE].

Structure (with approximate timing):
1. Hook: a relatable question or surprising fact (0:00 to 0:15).
2. Why it matters to the viewer (0:15 to 0:35).
3. The core idea in one sentence, then built up in three layers, each with a concrete example or analogy and a note about where the analogy breaks down.
4. A common misconception and the correction.
5. A worked example showing the concept in action.
6. Recap in three bullets and a next step.

Return the script in a table: Time | Narration | Visual | On-screen text. Also include: a one-sentence version of the concept, three alternative analogies with their strengths and limits, a list of facts that require a source (mark [ADD SOURCE]), a "version for beginners" cut and a "version for experts", and a storyboard list of 12 frames. Use only the facts from my sources; if a claim is uncertain, say so in the script rather than overstating. Keep language plain and avoid jargon unless defined.
