You didn't give a second thought to the fact that it had the rest of the origin of origins to "externally assimilate" with which is the intrinsic material it was part of in the first place... but let's excused that, then you have to consider that it's INCREDIBLY human specific because of all the matter, energy, elements, and phenomena in the universe it could merge with, it "chose" a carbon-based life-form on an insignificant speck... but let's excused that, the human is provided all the powers of the 'shard' and it gains sentience which doesn't remotely make any sense...

Now what really invalidates this is how you portray the origin of origins... from its conception it was just supposed to expand and somehow this 'flaw' was contrived so that it couldn't evolve on its own which contradicts the entire existence of the origin of origins... and excusing that, there is the fact that it grants abilities of absorption/replication which is in absolutely no way similar in anyway to its original conception... no continuity, contradiction, collapse of suspension of desbelief, and no element of realism is what makes this incredibly flawed and not the "perfect" explanation.

I didn't handwave anything, you just refuse to understand the essential model of how everything has a certain energy including primordial creation which every reality stemmed from... or you're just incapable of understanding anything that's scientifically plausible...
