Nobody inherently "understands" anything. Any information received by the senses is broken down into electrical synapses (that would be the on/off part) and "recompiled" into something our brain can react to, be it temperature, voice, pain, etc.

So, in my analogy, "high-level" code could be the sound of a bee buzzing nearby. My brain breaks down the input into electrical jolts, recompiles it, then triggers the appropriate action to my arm/hand to shoosh it away.

So it goes.
