One arrow from the origin to (3, 2), with thin dashed lines showing its components against each axis. The loop walks the tip once around a small circle, so the magnitude and the angle shift while the components track along. The readout layer carries both, which makes it the asset to reach for when a lesson needs a vector that visibly changes.
