Soverick couldn't resist the pulling force that dragged him into the maelstrom so resisting the pushing force that is expelling him out of it is futile. Fortunately, he returned to the real world with the strings of data that he held on to. But the struggle continued. The strings tried to escape from his mind and return to their source. He refused to let them go so they struggled with each other.
The white world he was just in is effectively in his eyes or at least has a connection with his eyes now. The 6 sheets of paper are the channel to that space. The space pulled his mind with his divine sense but his divine sense passes through his eyes. So he is using all four of his eyes to analyze the strings of data to try and get a grasp of the white space.
