That makes sense; I can see that being the case from a physicist's point of view.
(A psychologist would look at a physical model as an extension of our mental representations. In other words, both are the thing that does the interpreting. To illustrate, I was told an anecdote once about Richard Feynman, in which someone found his notes when developing Feynman Diagrams. The person remarked how they wish they could see how his mind worked. And Feynman responded that the notes were his work—that his thinking occurred on the page.)
