This was an amazing explanation. I’m saving it. Thank you so much! I wanna learn writing schematics or whatever they’re called so badly but…
Comment on Which path would the electrical current take?

It’s easier to see that this circuit is rather symmetric when you redraw it
Then with both switches closed blue wire (the one in the middle) should only carry small current. If both halves are exactly the same it should be zero
In general when circuit doesn’t include nonlinear components (semiconductors most commonly) you can sum two valid solutions and you’ll get another valid solution. Note that when one switch is closed, current in blue wire goes one way and when the other is closed, in opposite way

Check out the game Spintronics. It’s kind of expensive for the whole set, but absolutely worth it if you want to play around with circuits without shocking yourself.

Thanks for drawing it so I didn’t have to; I got nerd sniped from seeing what seemed like two identical circuits with shared ground
