Answer 1

It’s kind of like when you want to rest, but you just drank an energy drink beforehand.
You constantly flip between sitting down, lying down, and standing up. You’re only ever in one state at any time.
Now imagine 3 of your friends are beside you trying to do the same thing. Individually, you’re only in one state, but as a group you could be in all 3 states simultaneously.
