Tinbergen's "functions" is another way to describe this. In this vein, adaptation of function follows the ecological niche (long-term "phylogenetic" learning). If the niche is stable the innenwelt-side of the function may be "hardcoded". In this case locations of a nervous system can be described as "function elements" (i.e., no "representational drift")
