This paper demonstrates how a particular object - in this case, a frying pan - and its participation in the processes it is designed to support - in this case, the frying process - can be represented in a general function representational language and framework, that can be used to flesh out the processes and functionalities involved, leading to a deep conceptual understanding with explainability of functionalities that allows the system to answer "why" questions - why is something a good frying pan, say, or why a certain part on the frying pan is designed in a certain way?
