Is it literally electricity?

No, it's not. It's cascades of ion potentials. That's why it's slow and touch-sensitive.

it's electricity among other things. neurons communicate with each other using chemicals but within a single neuron it's electrical.

your heartbeat is electrical too

But its so complex, it managed to reach the biggest thing on the night sky and to disappear all other points

Yeah it sounds cool but I use the mech to update spreadsheets

I have a theory that initially a lot of these works were made for a laugh, like an old timey joke picture, and over time people kept adding meaning to them.
Like someone makes a rude and crude painting of a giant cock with eyes, makes people laugh, and a few thousand years later some bloke in a trilby goes "hmm, yes, it seems these people worshipped a penis god at this point in time. Also it clearly reads a prophecy, 'deez nuts'. Fascinating."

My thoughts exactly. All I can think of is that religious devotion requires giving away your brain??? It really is a bizarre illustration

that's Byzantine artwork for ya! here's a post from an art history community that discusses the painting. quite interesting! https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtHistory/comments/e1h0sy/jesus_and_felix_regula_exuperantius_1506/

The artist would have seen quite a lot of it.
