I do, however, believe I know what you are trying to point out. I would say that the difference is a matter of perspective from the direction of perceiving. In other words, it is like if you have a tree and there is one person on the ground and then there is someone in the tree. Though the tree is common, how it will be perceived, especially in relation to other things will be markedly different even if it is also incredibly similar.
Thus, I would say that it is 'both' and 'neither' of these while actually being something which defies description in words. Perhaps it could be seen that one sees the Microcosm in the Macrocosm, whereas the other is focused on seeing the Macrocosm in the Microcosm.
Where are we standing then? Are we macrosm or microcosm?
