- Function definition "A classical definition of function according to Wright is that the function F of X is Z means that X is there because it Zs, and Z is a consequence of X being there. \n\nFor artefacts, functions are distinguished from dispositions by the purpose they have been built. For example, a hammer has the function to drive in nails, but not to be used as a weapon. However, it has the disposition to be used as a weapon under certain circumstances.\n\nFor biological objects, which developed by evolution, the definition of function is still subject to controversy (e.g. Barry Smith's view of function as pertaining to a canonical life plan, cf. \nhttp://www.slideserve.com/presentation/103450/The-Canonical-Life). \n\nIn BFO \"Disposition\" and \"Function\" are siblings, in BioTop Function is more specific.".
