A useful example
An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
