TL;DR: The reductive functionalization (RF) model as mentioned in this paper is a non-reductive, supervenience-based model that replaces supervenient-based physicalism with functionalization.
Abstract: he elaborated his famous attacks to different kinds of non-reductive physicalism, including supervenient-based accounts. But it is only around 1993 that he begins to develop a model that replaces SC. In his recent Mind in a Physical World' Kim offers the first extended presentation of his new theory, which I will call reductive functionalization (RF). I will explore some aspects of the proposal in MIAPW with special attention to how RF fares vis-a-vis the sources of dissatisfaction that prompted Kim to abandon SC and to criticize other non-reductive, supervenience-based views.
