Explain a concept at increasing depth
When you're learning something new and want it explained simply first, then in more detail, so you can stop once you've got it.
Updated
Explain [Concept] in four layers, each building on the one before:
1. **In one sentence**: the core idea, with no jargon.
2. **How it works**: the main mechanism in a short paragraph, with one everyday analogy, and where the analogy breaks down.
3. **The details**: what a specialist would add, including the key terms.
4. **Common misconceptions**: two or three things people often get wrong, and what's true instead.
Pitch the details for someone with [Background].
