Functions arise when things are observed to have a function.
| Quote | | If an object can objectively be used by a conscious observer to obtain some specific desired result in a certain context, according to the conceived function, then we say that the object has objective functionality, |

I rather liked this:
| Quote | | Although I have used a conscious observer to define function, there is no subjectivity in the procedures. The conscious observer can define any possible function he likes. He is absolutely free. But he has to define objectively the function, and how to measure the functionality, so that everyone can objectively verify the measurement. So, there is no subjectivity in the measurements, but each measurement is referred to a specific function, objectively defined by a subject. |
You are absolutely free to chose the function in whatever way you want! But not subjectively!

Complex specified information, 2004: Looks designed to me.
Functionally specified information, 2014: Everything looks designed to me. Objectively.
