+This visualization combines two distinct layers, each of them borrowing their
+behavior from [Visualization 4][viz4]. Neither layer has any effect on the
+other, one is merely super-imposed on top of the other in the top canvas. You
+can see each layer individually in the two lower canvases.
+
+Despite their not affecting each other, the code is set up so that each layer
+_could_ be affected by the other. This will likely be explored more in a future
+post.
