Well that's how it is in biology as well... Despite of gap-junctions all synapses are one directional. This is also logically sensical, as one feature can predict another while the other does not necessarily mean the first one is present. You want to learn these connections separately.
On a high level you may draw the analogy that 'Car' implies 'seat'; but 'seat' does not necessarily (or with the same strength) imply 'car'...
