The Formal Theorem

h = log n

Analytical Intuition.

BSTs are the Geometry of Decisions. Fork in the road: Go Left if smaller, Go Right if larger. Find any item among millions in just 20 steps. Sorted list that never needs shifting.
CAUTION

Institutional Warning.

Danger is a degenerate tree collapse. Self-balancing trees rotate nodes to keep the search mountain flat.

Academic Inquiries.

01

What is a tree rotation?

A geometric shift to restore balance without breaking the order rules.
