Analytical Intuition.
Induction is Proof by Dominoes. Tip the first domino (base case), then show that if any falls, the next MUST fall (inductive step). This creates an infinite chain reaction of truths.
CAUTION
Institutional Warning.
The Inductive Hypothesis feels like cheating until you realize you anchored the chain with the base case.
