Maybe it's so difficult to define the Wall because in reality there is no wall - only your /our perception of the Wall...or how the Wall should be.
After all, we are all thinking in human terms.
The only reason we understand a wall to be a wall is because we have been told that's it is.
So we apply that logic in a metaphorical sense - which I don't think we can do.
The Many and the One/Source are the same...like a rope that has frayed.
There's only a separation or a decision to separate because we are applying human thinking to it.
The only other analogy I can think of (which probably only look right in my head) is -
Imagine the Source as an insect. That insect possesses 'feelers' to enable it to experience or interact with it's environment...to enhance its experience if you will.
Maybe we are those 'feelers', directly connected to the insect/Source, in order to enhance the experience.
There is a direct connection - no gaps in the information...ie - no Wall.
Going back to topic - we only think a Wall exists or should exist only because we perceive it to.
Sorry if that was rambling...!
Much love...

Let's say there was only life.
Once realized there was only life and nothing else, then Nothing became the wall.
I am nothing. Something else is alive.

That sounds like then everything is alive.
If everything is alive then individuals are what is basically sane, or at least have the basic 'wall' to prevent from being fully insane. That means there is room to be insane in order to know the wall, plain insanity, which suffix means a part of the whole.
