Thank you for the clarification. That explains it well.

As for an analogy, that is a tough one.

It is like a bunch of wires housed in a clear casing. From the outside you can see the individual colors of the wires and how they are separate. If you were in the middle of those wires, it would all look like they were joined.

Or it is like looking at a forest from the edge in daylight...you can see each individual true. But in the middle of the dense forest, with the underbrush and vines, it all runs together.

Any of those capture it?
