on the end stage screen, stages 1-4 Are placed in quarters around the center, Eve, the self. They are hidden until the player 'analyzes' them, when they reveal their form, a quarternity.

stage 5 I cannot quite place, but it is the story of the emergence of eve, and as such it is within the center, and I would not consider this imbalanced.

all the bosses and many of the enemies do not directly attack you, but launch some sort of true hostile enemy.

all the bosses are at the center of their own stage, mirroring the construction of eve's placement. They are barriers she has placed to prevent the outside world getting in.

every boss does something to obscure their core. usually it is not an actual form of protection, just something in your way, although it can still do you harm.
