I personally treat profundity as synonymous with a large first derivative of compressibility (see Schmidhuber). Something is a profound insight if it allows to compress information much more than before, e.g. by explaining many phenomena with a simple rule (see physics). In this case, there is not much to compress. The two phenomena have closely resembling spatial features, but one is explained by the gravitational force and the other one is likely explained by evolutionary necessity. Maybe one can find some superficial relations via scale-free networks etc., but my expectations that there is anything to gain from that are very low, just because of how different the underlying mechanisms are (matter moving by attractive forces vs biological stuff that needs to communicate efficiently such that its superstructure does not die until it procreates or until its descendants are sufficiently autonomous for self-replication or to execute the adaptations shaped by some symbiotic, altruistic or group-selective evolutionary correction signals, if any).
