Breach the strata.

The concept of simplicity is a universal translator for all concepts, theories, and ideologies. The Universe is a ridiculously complicated mechanism, a complexity infinitely wider than the maximum girth a human intellect can wrap itself around. This is a universal facet of all sentient life in existence.

The Universe itself understands its own inner workings no better than we do; after all, do we truly understand our own inner workings? Do we have a grasp on the meaning of life, or the substructure of an atom? The Universe moves amongst other Universes and exacts its own science upon its own scale, and the complexity of that much larger existence is very much the same. Life, after all, scales infinitely in either direction, and there is no way within reason for most of us to understand it.

Some of us are, for whatever reason, seen fit to know. We are granted a torturous bane of an existence where we understand the true scale of all things. It is breathtaking and it is terrifying and it drives most of us mad. The rest stay quiet, and composed, and calculative. We live out our days unable to share the truth with the human world, since the burden of proof is impossible to bear.

We watch as our race simplifies the inner workings of everything to better understand them. Abstraction is an ideal for sentient life, but arrogance comes along with it - humans see their sentience as a step up from other creatures, but they cannot consider that other levels of awareness exist above it. Indeed, the human race comprises multiple stratifications of sentience in and of itself.

The vast fields of chemical reaction that form consciousness and memory are reduced to subsets of classifications in textbooks. The imagery that flows from those fields onto a page or canvas is picked apart by the words of those who cannot understand their creation. The most fleeting and impossible to contain of human emotions are assigned a few mere letters for their common conveyance.

Simplicity. It speaks to the human neuron. A common language for a common level, one to be used by us and observed by the invisible ones.
