Humans have longed relied on metaphor and analogy to provide context. Chemistry is a contextualized generalization of certain physical phenomena.

Neurons are just temporal spatial events of various mathematical parameters; gradients and ranges of heat, light, etc.

Everything is some form of “how matter happened to coalesce relative to light during $arbitrary_date_time_range”

Or it’s all the specialized language of chemistry and biology.

Six to one, half dozen to another. Normalizing the descriptions isn’t proof of correctness, it’s a specific normalized set of glyphs to simplify communication.
