I get what you mean, I had a similar kind of feeling when I did maths in my PhD too. I think that is an aptitude for mathematical style of thinking. I also love it when things that seem dissociated from each other suddenly becomes part of a single concept when you do a nice abstraction. I guess that is one of the points of abstraction anyway (reduce the number of building blocks as much as possible while keeping the same richness in end results).
