I think when people say form over function, they’re usually conflating function and method. Usually they’re trying to say that efficiency sacrifices beauty, and by beauty, they mean form. But function is part of beauty. Efficiency of function is method.
Thoughts?
gentle reminder:
Oh, I see (what you wish me to see) you weren’t paying attention…
red: assent/dissent response to content (force may be stronger elsewhere)
yellow: content/understanding regardless of force
TELLS/CAMO blue: behaving as if one knows/doesn’t … with or without understanding/awareness or assent/dissent (force INDICATORS go here)
To deform/deface (the material) is to denature (cause dysfunction)… unless personhood is your essence (but at least showing a face helps … facilitates… in matters of recognition… preferably not a false front…).

Did you mean to remove “self” from “self-awareness”?
Do you think removing physical existence (surfaces) removes the ability to recognize meaning below surfaces/indicators?
In other words…
Is love (meaning, form, intention) not love (substantial) without demonstration (in surface… incarnation… in action… inexistence)?
