Complex Topic Simplified (ELI5 + Advanced)

Explain this complex topic at two levels.

Topic: [specific complex concept]

Why I need this:

• Context: [teaching others/learning myself/explaining to stakeholders]
• Audience range: [complete beginners to people with some background]

Level 1 - Simple explanation:

• Explain as if to someone with zero background
• Use analogies from everyday life (avoid technical analogies)
• Focus on the core concept, not edge cases
• Make it accurate but accessible
• Success criteria: A 10-year-old could understand the basic idea

Level 2 - Intermediate explanation:

• For someone with basic knowledge in [related field]
• Include how it actually works (mechanism)
• Explain why it's designed this way (rationale)
• Note important nuances or exceptions
• Success criteria: Someone could discuss this intelligently with peers

Success criteria: I have two versions I can use depending on my audience's level.
