Thanks for reading and commenting Kaze!
They're not actually from outlining--the sections USUALLY separate whole scenes, or smaller 'beats'--but in a few exceptions, such as major info dumps like this chapter, I separate where I feel like there should be small breathers or checkpoints, to stop and ... ehh, 'absorb' the info for lack of a better term.
(For context, the 'Prof explains a logic gate' mini-sections were originally a lot longer and I had wanted to separate that entire giant section into 3 parts, but I ended up compressing parts 2 and 3 into basically one line--and then, I just left the section headings where they were.)
You do raise a great point, however, and even I feel like I went overboard a bit here. I'd actually recommend skipping over the section headings the first time through a chapter--and then going back (only if you feel like it, of course), to read the section headings that sum up each mini-section.
