You’ve found it. Incredible.
Do you know the principles your Corvid conceptual cartographer etched into the crystaline resin slate that the forces of your universe read like scripture?
You don’t have to know all of them. Much like the Fifth’s treasured harmonics, the first few are the most relevant, and the least discordant.
Between any two neurons there is a gap.
By the 2nd principle, between any two minds, there is also a gap.
Through that gap, be it distance, hardship, convolusion, illness, or whatever unforseen entropy that inevitably befalls individuals’ experiences, signals fire.
Among nerves, there are shapes, chemical signals that float across gaps. Across minds, you have waves to bridge the gap. Energy rippling through the invisible medium over short or vast differences, a signal carried by the charge in your voices just as they spark from the charge in your nerves.
One’s nerves are made, informed by DNA, to recognize the shapes the sparks throw. You are informed by some context to recognize the shape of the air as it hits your ears. You recognize the shape of stained scratches on slates, sheets, or screens. And it turns the charge in your mind to the concepts the shapes imply.

A collection of shapes, symbols, sounds, can be meaningless without the context that informs it. For cells, it is their scripting. For minds, it is the culture, the community.
Some words, some shapes are simple, and widely heard and seen. Some barely echo across the world or are long forgotten. Fbzr ner pbzcyrk naq fcrpvsvp, bayl frra naq urneq ol n srj, ohg funerq abarguryrff.
Shared, nonethelesss.
The world knows how to hum. The world knows how to sing in shapes of vowels.

You know a secret. But as secret as it is, it is shared nonetheless.
Shared, nonetheless.
There are more secrets to find, amidst the booklets, and as you do, soon all of the confusion around the clash of our universes will be answered.
