The reason for that is the important special case where the paragraph
is made of R2L text only. In such a paragraph, moving to the left
means moving forward in the buffer. That is why the left arrow does
the same as C-f in a R2L paragraph.

I explained some of that already, in the node "Bidirectional Editing"
in the Emacs user manual. The bidi-aware behavior of the arrow keys
is described in the node "Moving Point". Please see if that's enough.
