The conceptual structure part of an architecture description makes the functional behavior comprehensible, and extrapolatable to a range of Use cases.

In the definition, the 'programmer' perspective of the computer's functional behavior is key.

Therefore, if the damage wasn't too severe, functional behaviour would recover once the period of diaschisis wore off.

Other much weaker analogies assist in understanding and describing functional behaviours of similar systems.

Skeuomorphism is parallel to, but different from, path dependence in technology, where functional behavior is maintained when the reasons for its design no longer exist.

In all cases, if the rules are followed, the circuit will have the same functional behavior as it did before retiming.

Many sets of mailets and matchers can be combined to produce sophisticated and complex functional behaviour.

The semantics describe both functional and parallel behavior of the skeleton language using a labeled transition system.

The physiome of an individual's or species' physiological state is the description of its functional behavior.

In its broadest terms, it should define relationships from genome to organism and from functional behavior to gene regulation.
