A contra-referentialization of speculative realism's theory-fiction in which language (form) and function share a contrapositive relationship.
The basis of Hypermodernism.
The basis of Hypermodernism.
Postmodernism argues that form follows function.
Theory-function the theoretical foundation of Hypermodernism argues that DESIGN follows function. Form is oriented as contrapositive to function.
Hypermodernism would use the meme and more metastatically the skeuomorph as a theory-function instance, ie., a meta-medium.

Much in the way one who participates in heavy drinking, but can operate in normal society is a functional alcoholic: one who participates in heavy function use, but can program normal programs is doing functional programming. Functions, especially the more street available nested anonymous ones, are highly addictive and may make you want to abandon other forms of control flow entirely. Allows one to write code that operates on other code easily. Nerd Shit.

My friend who is an engineer, will stare at the following things, like one gazes at fine art: Wood-burning-stoves, Stirling-engines, Opticas, Orinithropters, Theremins, Brachistichrone-curves, and Derigibles; because they have a functional-beauty derived from the elegant way they achieve their goals.
Many "functionalist" buildings are not functionally-beautiful, because the designers often forego the shortest/quickest paths in favor of a cumbersome grid-like floorplan.

A term to describe a person being a massive hater towards a certain group. So much that it mirrors the hatred of DIO for the Joestar lineage.
