The tale of the frog and the bird may be good for a less mature audience but here we can really go with a richer analogy: the two views correspond to how a virtual machine is seen from within and from the environment in which it runs. I prefer this analogy to the "abstract mathematical structure, an immutable entity existing outside of space and time"because it not only allows to comprehend how space and time could emerge within that VM and not only what it means to exist outside that emergent space and time, but also that that outside environment could have its own space and time and in turn be just another VM, totally beyond our reach but not inconceivable.
