• What is a purpose for something? That's the question. It can be answered. Here's the one: if that something at the end of its existence has some abilities, those abilities are the purpose for that something. In other words, for a thing to have a purpose is to reach that purpose at the last moment. • Things can loose their purposes or obtain them. If a thing has lost its purpose, then either it will obtain it again, or it doesn't exist no more. Exemplifying, an apple has a purpose to be eaten if this apple stops its existence at the moment of the eating process. • Formally, for a thing A, if it exists from T¹ till T³, then if A is red at T³, then to be red is the purpose for A. Or generally, for any X, X is X only then X is A, and T=1, or T=2, or ..., or T=n–1, but X is X only then X is B when T=n, then B is the purpose for X. For example, how could we be if there were no nails left? Wouldn't it mean there were no hammers as hammering tools? But what if some nails would become available again? When some nails would be found or created, then hammers would become hammers again. And till there is just one last nail, there is a hammer in its hammering sense. This hammer will loose its purpose (as that hammering hammer tool) as soon as one last nail be nailed. Therefore, the last one nail is the purpose for a hammer to be a hammer tool.
