Do you think it’s meaningful to distinguish between the function that is instantiated in a given system and the system itself? That is, *the person* (as a brain/body instantiating a function) understands. This might be pedantic.

It is the other way around: while the brain implements the model function (and the modeling functions), the person that understands is instantiated by the functions.

Okay I see it. The “person” is the *system of events being instantated. But the funtion is abstract. The event is what *is happening*. So an instance of that function running on a given input is an instance of understating that input.

A person is a particular model function that is used by the brain to evaluate how such a person would react to experiencing the world (which the brain itself cannot do).
