Adam's eyes were half-closed, half-open, with most of his attention focused on reordering the concepts and ritual.
There was indeed a bridge between the world's unknowability and incomprehensibility, and the pursuit of knowledge and understanding about it.
"The thing-in-itself is unknowable."
That was to say, the true essence of things could not actually be known, because all human cognition was limited and partial, based solely on one's own capabilities.

Everyone was merely like blind men feeling an elephant in this world.
On the level of worlds, a three-dimensional sphere would become nothing more than a point or a circle when it fell into a two-dimensional world.
Even if a two-dimensional world achieved comprehensive, world-spanning understanding, could that count as knowing the sphere's true essence? No, because to that two-dimensional world, the sphere was an unknowable existence beyond perception.

Once Adam completed this ritual, he could use that wholeness to push his own path into Primordial Unity. If the ritual could not be
