all of these weblinks are circular (wikipedia is an open source "encyclopedia"...not a reliable source) and the good Dr.'s webpage seems self-promoting.

That said, what does "dicate" mean? And why is expression refined to be formative in order to define "functional formism". Ad why is function applied to an "-ism" that really is not necessarily definitive as a predicator to form? Can forms function informally? Can dysfunctional forms exist? Can forms be dysfunctional? if they can, then what's the point? To define something a posteriori doesn't lend much to the general discussion of architecture...

I'm baffled.
