The essence of life is the process of information processing.

Building cognitive depth through "Dimensional Elevation"
Dimensional elevation acquisition: Integrating fragmented experiences and discrete signals into a multi-dimensional, cross-temporal insight system.

Achieving value output and connection through "Dimensional Reduction"
Dimensional reduction expression: The process of compressing complex insights, intuitions, and systematic knowledge into linear language or text.

Dimensional elevation is an inward evolution, while dimensional reduction is an outward offering.
The most counterintuitive point is: we strive to learn, read, and practice, essentially making ourselves "more difficult to understand" (Dimensional Elevation); and all our expressive desires are fundamentally about conducting a "costly translation" (Dimensional Reduction).
