At a discrete set of ``magic'' twist angles, twisted bilayer graphene develops two bands at charge neutrality that are almost perfectly flat. We present a unified theory of this phenomenon within the chiral continuum model. The central object is the square of the chiral Hamiltonian, a 2×2 Schrödinger operator for an electron moving in a non-Abelian SU(2) pseudo-magnetic field generated by the interlayer tunneling. From it we derive an energy sum rule in which the interlayer coupling splits into a bounded overlap channel and an unbounded current channel; their different scaling with the coupling α explains why the first magic angle is qualitatively different from the rest. The asymptotic rule αₘ₊₁-αₘ→3/2 follows from a rescaling of the moiré potential together with its three-cell magnetic periodicity, with the two parity families of zero modes each repeating with period 3 and interleaved with each other. Near the AA point the zero-mode problem becomes a lowest-Landau-level problem in an effective field B_(rm eff)=3α, so that the high-order zero modes are coherent Landau states of width 1/√3α whose guiding centres converge to ±(π/3) q_μ, with kinetic and confinement energies in equipartition. Deforming the coupling into an Abelian one removes the magic-angle sequence, which shows that the non-Abelian structure is essential. Between consecutive magic angles, band inversions at Γ and M produce phases with Chern numbers C=±2, and the quantum metric reaches a sharp maximum at θ≈0.43^∘, identifying a promising regime for correlated and topological phases beyond the first magic angle.
