That is, instead of mental states receiving a purely functional explanation in terms of their relations to other mental states, like those listed above, functions are seen as playing only a part—the other part being played by structures— of the explanation of a given mental state.
See tähendab, et vaimsete seisundite asemel, mis saavad puhtfunktsionaalset seletust seoses nende suhetega teiste vaimsete seisunditega, nagu eespool loetletud, peetakse funktsioone ainult osaliseks - teist osa mängivad struktuurid - konkreetse vaimse seisundi seletuses.
