You're not making any sense, Chad. State your problem or whatever in plain language or don't.
Let's go back over the history of your question:

No, you can use whatever nomenclature you like, it doesn't change the fact that a mechanical device has intentionality. Its instructions and the data in the hardware are very real physical manifestations. All your talk about final causes doesn't change that. And unless those instructions are expressed in the hardware of the robot, they do not function at all. The efficacy depends upon being mated to the right hardware. Period.

You obviously have something on your mind, asking me these loaded questions, why don't you spill it? I tire of your leading.
