The functioning of matter deals with the change of matter over time. The brain has a specific structure of matter and energy at each moment in time. Over time this structure changes. These continuous changes in structure is the functioning that is occurring in the body. A consciousness producing body can start with any structure and then can change in many different ways. One of these enumerable amount of different ways that the body actually changes is defined as its functioning. The science of superimmortality defines the self not as a body at a progressing moment in time but as a number of potential structures and functionings of matter or physipaths producing a large grouping of potential awarepaths that sometimes gets produced by nature or possibly by other conscious beings.
