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 Vulkan API - Owners' Workshop Manual (2nd Edition) - Computer Programming (Beginners Onwards): Everything You Need To Get Started With The Vulkan API (Paperback), you’ll likely enjoy this too.)
