Form follows function means that the shape of a machine or device will be dictated by what it is designed to do. I have no idea where the "most nearly" fits in.

A linear function when graphed takes the form of a straight line.
"The" exponential function is ex. A more general exponential function is any function of the form AeBx, for any non-xero constants "A" and "B". Alternately, Any function of the form CDx (for constants "C" and "D") would also be considered an exponential function. You can change from one form to the other.

This principle, coined by architect Louis Sullivan, suggests that the design of a structure should primarily serve its purpose or function. In other words, the form or appearance of a building should be a direct result of its intended use and should not be embellished for purely aesthetic reasons.
The original term phrase was, "FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION." In recent years it has been modified for literary use to "FORM FOLLOWS CONTENT."

principle of complementarity of structure and function
Frank Lloyd Wright
"In biology, form follows function means that the structure of an organism is closely related to its function or purpose. This principle applies to evolution because natural selection acts on the functional benefits of traits, shaping organisms' forms to better suit their environments and improve their chances of survival and reproduction."
