- AndrewKemendo 6y agoOf course it does - physical phenomena must have a biological transducer to interact with [1] The structure of these transducers is critically important as they gate/filter the interaction types with the physical world that ultimately are the bounds on what humans can reason about. They are doing transformations and "pre-processing" if you like to compress real world signal into something that can be interpreted by the other systems in the body.
