For a moment, Dafyd Alkhor saw the universe the way a Carryx would, and it was beautifully simple and utterly horrific.

From what I understand the Carryx actually have a simple view of the universe which is simultaneously crazy successful. The equivalent of rolling the dice again and again until you win at the species level. Every Carryx individual starts off with semi randomized genetics and then is slowly reduced in the society until they reach soldier class. Captured species/tools are given a variety of tasks and they just keep the ones who do a good job.

Seems like a caste system but innate. They don't really even have enemies, just species who haven't been captured.

I'm wondering if my explanation here is accurate or if I'm missing a few points? I'm also interested in what blind spots such perspectives on the universe has? I still see Tkson of the cohort Malkal being ready to kill Dafyd for suggesting that individual Carryx could have choice as being similar to Caste system lovers being ready to use violence to perpetuate the caste system. We also see a subjugator prime and secondary librarians during the battle with galactic humans being upset/resentful at suicide orders which hints that the caste system isn't as hard coded as the Carryx like to pretend.
