If we see or imagine a 3D model of a tree there must be something that happens in the brain to transform the "binary" (the electrical impulses sent through the nerves) into the 3D model. When we scan brains there are no 3D models found inside it. The same can be said about scanning a PC's disk, there's no 3D trees inside. But the code can be converted to a tree and displayed on a screen. On the computer the screen has a physical form. What would be the screen in our body? The lack of understanding about the mechanism that turns the "code" into a 3D model may be considered a gap in understanding.
