The electricity-centered framework for modeling action potentials uses a reductionistic/mechanistic approach, focuses on electric phenomenology (ionic current flow), emphasizes functional transformations in microscopic cellular entities like ion channels, treats non-electrical phenomena as epiphenomena, and views propagation as an irreversible, energy-consuming process.
