What you graph isn’t just a function; it’s a geometry the function creates.

Logs are a coordinate choice that straighten exponentials.
Exponentials are about scale, not 'bigness.'
The curve is a symptom. The geometry underneath changes: horizontals become bowed arcs; verticals stay vertical but stretch by aˣ. You’re watching a coordinate grid get reshaped.

And resolving in both ways (or in some way), you get a kind of 'objective' view of the world. You can see IT and you can see IT seeing YOU. Put under the sociality pressure cooker, and you develop 'eyes in the back of your head,' so to speak. Make it conscious, and you have a guardian angel (e.g.).

This is probably working its way toward the mechanisms of joint attention, in which case, you should just read Chris Frith on this (direct.mit.edu/opmi/article...).
But it's cool: one can resolve that 'looking in' view (which is wrong in two flips) in either the left-right way or the up-down way.

Sharing the World—A Social Aspect of Consciousness
Abstract. Moving through our environment generates multiple changes in my sensations. But I do not experience the environment as changing. My conscious perceptual experience is of a stable environment...

It gave a lot of animals (mammals) that capability.

At once a worldview looking into itself, and a guardian angel. Convexity gave us our initial 'two-ness' view of the world.

What is that perspective?
If a person stood behind your eye and looked into your pupil from the other side—standing at the point where the image is projected—they would see the scene exactly as it appears on your retina. It’s what the world looks like from the world’s side, looking in.
