This paper presents an attempt to apply Ingarden's conception of states of affairs to the engineering model of artefacts. The authorI briefly sketches this theory and shows how it should be extended to grasp the relevant aspects of artefacts. The extension he constructs makes it possible to philosophically categorize such notions as design, function, structure, and behavior.
