because of isomorphism, a story about the universe also works as an inverse story about the self.
take the spatial image of the self within the universe, that's a mere R3.
center the approximate position of the self at origin.
now perform a spherical inversion.
the farthest reaches of the universe are now in the center, while an infinity of self surrounds it.
feel your power.
... and that's how you trick esoterical types into learning math
