I’m still looking for a good ELI5, but this article at least makes it a bit more understandable: [https://wiki.pathmind.com/eigenvector](https://wiki.pathmind.com/eigenvector)

>So out of all the vectors affected by a matrix blowing through one space, which one is the eigenvector? It’s the one that that changes length but not direction; that is, the eigenvector is already pointing in the same direction that the matrix is pushing all vectors toward. An eigenvector is like a weathervane. An eigenvane, as it were.
