Can "to-infinitive phrase" be modified by a past participle phrase?

It looks like the past participle phrase "understood as the ways to leave the marginal state....in this space" modifies the to-infinitive phrase "To think from otherness", or is the past participle phrase modifying the whole preceding sentence "To think from otherness is to think about other modes of emancipation"?

I'm not sure what the past participle phrase modifies exactly.

Does this help clarify? To think from otherness is to think about other modes of emancipation, (modes which are) understood as the ways to leave the marginal state and to settle in a place of equality in the world space; that is, to think of ways to leave that otherness, (ways which are) understood as marginality.
