Let's say the "Secrets of the Universe" broadly consists of Graph of 100 "abstract" interconnected concepts. The concepts have to be abstract because it is describing everything. It has to be limited in number because we cannot be endlessly chasing the definitions till we reach the levels of atoms. Is it possible to get glimpse of that Graph just toying with abstract ideas. The exact nodes / concepts used in the graph maybe different (depending on field) but the structure will be isomorphic. It has to be discoverable in any field since we started with the assumption that the Graph is "Secret of the Universe" so it should apply to any subset as well and should be discoverable from that subset. This is like analytic functions where knowing its derivatives in a small enough interval can lead us to the exact function.
