But the physiologists's job is different. What he seeks is not merely an overall model. He really looks for an understanding of the actual mechanisms whereby the organic...
...matter, the kinetic mechanism with all its defects serving as a ladder toward specific experimental inquiry. He is not so crude as to look for a nexus of springs pulling dashpots through baths of hydraulic oil when he peers at muscle fibers in electron microscope pictures, though this kind of model has had brilliant uses for some purposes. On the other hand he knows in a practical way, as the logician knows, that reasoning by analogy from dynamical properties of the model is liable to stumble over imperfections in the analogy...
