Principlev1
Separate behavioral function (the purpose a behavior serves)
Separate behavioral function (the purpose a behavior serves) from form (the specific implementation) and design multiple forms that deliver the same function under different constraints.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle derives from axioms about goals as filters (Goals as Perceptual Filters), hierarchical values (Values exist in a hierarchical structure with terminal), and purpose (Purpose requires self-transcendence — orientation toward). It prescribes a key analytical move—separating what from why—that enables designing alternatives. This is clearly derived from understanding goal structures rather than being foundational itself.
