Well, the question still remains of “symbiotizing what”?

Life as a whole or the multiverse itself as you mentioned. The show made that pretty clear in saying that wherever the network goes, life goes, and if the network dies then life itself dies.

I had just assumed that since it peters out at the border of the galaxy that it ends there. And if it resumes in another galaxy, it seems like it would be discontinuous and thus a separate organism.

Well, in Season 1 we saw a bunch of the calculations and analyzing that was done of the network while they were jumping. The hyphae do seem to connect in a non-linear fashion if they're able to connect with an alternate dimension. Lorca also did point out that the calculations were showing multiple universes. So I wouldn't be surprised if it just sort of... bypasses intergalactic space somehow by folding in a way that's not intuitive to us.

Also nah, don't need to strike that out buddy. I'd give anything to be one too <3
