Except it's not the same.

Penny is self-aware, has an identity, and from there she can develop a personality and a Soul.

Yang's Semblance comes from her Soul, which she has because she is self-aware, has an identity and personality. Just like everyone else in Remnant.

So really, it's only a physical basis in the sense that one needs a brain, or something that acts like a brain, to develop a Soul.
