Explain Inversion to me in TENET because I respectfully turned it off after 10 minutes

Tenet Explained: Understanding Inversion, Temporal Pincer Movements, And The Timeline

What is Inversion?
Inversion is a process whereby an object (or person) has its entropy reversed, essentially flipping its chronology so that from that point on it travels backwards in time instead of forwards. The process is achieved via a Turnstile: a temporal reversal engine that has a distinct entrance and exit, ensuring the object/person doesn't accidentally come into contact with its past/future self and cause the universe to implode. Which would – according to our notes – be bad

:ohhh:

So Inversion was a scientific development that helped reverse objects. Eventually they get all the pieces to build a machine that allows you to invert people. But it's a closed loop meaning that what happens, always happens. If you invert, and try to go back and change something, it always happens how it did when you weren't inverted and everything you do was already factored in the original timeline.

From how I understood it, every time a person enters inversion, there can be multiple versions of self at the same event.

Basically: anything that passed through one of the turnstiles starts "interpreting" time backwards in the same space.

..I think another way to think of it is that inversion is "time traveling" backwards at the same speed we currently "travel" forward

They said it is absolutely NOT time travelling.:ufdup:
