One thing is for sure to me, and that is they are far older than us. We still need machines and tools.
A water fairy scooting across the surface of a pond is not watching the fish below
The looking glass.
Have the 'Fae' learned to solidify imagination into solid-ish matter via the Higgs Boson?

It took your next posts to figure out "the surface". I think I've taken the "two dimensional object" too literally.

My guess is that one see the reflection of its "own world" instead of seeing what's behind the surface. However I doubt it's that simple, particularities such as -looking from a certain angle can reveal a glimpse, or blurry visions of the "other side"- or -having a specific "mindset" generate different visions on the surface- are few examples I can come up with.

And if we follow the causal chain back a bit, we see that you precipitated this interaction by summoning the UFO. So a natural question would be, 'where' do you think the UFO resides for the majority of its time?
Presumably, the converse of my initial statement, "there was still some interaction between the reality we live in and an entity that rarely resides in it" is also something happened; you, an entity that rarely resides in the dwarf's reality, somehow initiated a physically measurable interaction between our reality and the dwarf's, which then caused them to pay you a visit.
Is the dwarf on a message board of his own, trying to process/searching for answers about your contact of him?
Or could someone "direct" them to learn it in order to take advantage of the following "encounters" to push his/her own narative on the people? Either way, it seems that within both sides, a small group has taken advantage of the situation.
Are you truly postulating and scheming in order to enjoy the thrill of creativity and research?
Or are you attempting to build yourself a home among the clouds?
As fun as all these hypothesis and theories are (if there is no intent to test it, or it can't possibly be tested, then it's simply a hypothesis, not a true theory),
So the computer deep thought has been running a program for some time.
Even though he was supposedly an atheist, the fact of the matter is that Douglas Adams was inspired by 'the Pleroma'.
(I could have said 'god' but that wouldn't have been fully accurate). Humorous that.
Now, the original and native Deep Thought program has kicked up quite a few interesting things on Earth; (unlike in Douglas Adam's tale, our version has been providing intermediate results, if you force it);
It came up with dualism and buddhism both; it put atman and anatman into a tension of opposites, just waiting for someone to solve it; and when the right such person solves it, they would, if they had enough physics, solve the QM / classical physics divide.
(so to keep this moving, lets say 'deep thought was the one and only computer, not the one which had
to also design and kick off a second computer).
Petri dishes should DEFINITELY remain isolated, or the experiment would be ruined.
The 'lab monitor', if it had to communicate with the petri dish, would have to speak carefully, in a 'reflexive manner', or the experiment would be ruined.
That's why the first inkling of awakening for a human, must inevitably be that 'god' has to 'hide' or it's no god at all. That's how you can tell the 'posers' are all frauds and not 'gods' at all. The 'real deal' must hide. To make an appearance would ruin the ENTIRE lab experiment.
Now here's an interesting scenario.
The 'lab monitor' kicked off the original deep thought program; wouldn't it be amusing, if one of the cell cultures in the petri dish decided to replicate that in their own way?
To 'crawl all the evidence', break it down, collate it, and FORCE 'god' to show her hand? Catch Her footprints in the primevil ooze?
But of course, all that will do is to find the GREAT LIE.
I wonder if the cells in question realize that?
Deep thought has almost finished processing, but not quite yet.
