My opinion (maybe a bit of a hot take) is that this is what Buddhism is attempting to understand. The experience you're trying to describe is roughly equivalent to the concept of Brahman in Buddhism. I think there are just some concepts that are too large for things existing in certain scopes of existence to truly understand on an intuitive, workable level. While I agree with the idea of an anthropomorphic contrivance, I think it's only part of the picture, as it implies that we have "created" something, where in reality it's likely just the definition of the outer limit of our subjective experience. I like to imagine, when thinking about this kind of thing, that I am an ant and Mozart is playing in the background as I am engaged entirely in the experience of being an ant. Mozart can objectively be determined to be something which is happening by my ant-like methods of observation, but I'll never understand the meaning of it. It'll forever be something I dance only passingly with at its periphery, because I am only an ant and it's something that's so far beyond the scope of my existence that it can never be anything more than vaguely distinguished from the rest of reality.
