Canon in D is a 'canon' because it has two identical melody lines, offset from each other. Here's a representation using two cars on the same musical road (with the top-left car just providing a repeating bass), showing there's no tricks. http://isleoftune.com  #7thbeattheory

I did not make this btw, @isleoftune is almost a decade old. I just made the screen recording because no footage of this map exists. Twitter search "isle of tune" never brought the account up either, hence just linking the website straight in the original tweet.

This is correct, the original version of Canon in D has 3 voices following each other instead of two, all sharing one melody line. It makes things fit together more intricately and satisfyingly https://twitter.com/maxhummus/status/1247120797082189824?s=19
