From chat gpt:
Vaults are barrel-shaped cellular structures found in eukaryotic cells, and their exact function is still not fully understood. However, they are believed to play a role in several cellular processes, including:
1. Intracellular Transport – Vaults may help transport molecules, such as RNA and proteins, between different parts of the cell, including the nucleus and cytoplasm.
2. Detoxification – Some studies suggest that vaults help in detoxifying harmful substances, potentially by shuttling them out of the cell.
3. Drug Resistance – Vaults have been linked to multidrug resistance in cancer cells, possibly by expelling chemotherapy drugs from cells.
4. Immune Response – They may play a role in the immune system, though this is not yet well understood.
The "half-empty" appearance you mentioned comes from their hollow, cage-like structure, which allows them to encapsulate molecules.

What guarantee is there that the five senses, taken together, do cover the whole of possible experience? Alan Watts.
No guarantee in my opinion, there is so much we can't sense or explain.
