kinda yup, it's like asking if the things in our body: virus, bacteria,etc. whatever, consider our body as there universe when they can't see the next universe next.
They can communicate in this body universe, they can reproduce, and sometime they can migrate. Some of our smallest entities have some short lifespan and probably no counsciouness of a human as a whole (never seen a virus or bacteria with a telescope yet myself ; ) , but they do there job for us while we can't really communicate with them. And we're aslo doing our job for them allowing hybridation.
