I deliberately choose a very simple example, so that it was clear  to
Stuart that I was not assuming anything non-physical.  Even then,
Stuart seems to say that I am assuming something non-physical.

Sure, there would be better examples, where a case can be made that  the
adaptive behavior is purposive.
