Without an independent grip on what feasible computation means apart from any formal model, the claim that F characterizes FP in a machine-independent way is circular rather than substantive.

Circular reasoning(the trap that occurs when trying to define counterfactuals): A logical mistake where you use the very thing you're trying to prove as part of your argument, like saying 'I'm trustworthy because I said I am'—this goes in circles and doesn't actually explain anything.
FP (as formal notation)(computational complexity theory): A shorthand used in computer science to refer to a specific class of computational problems that can be solved relatively quickly by a computer.
Feasible computation(This concept is being examined in the statement): A calculation or problem that a computer could actually solve in a reasonable amount of time, rather than taking forever.
Formal model(logic and theoretical computer science): A mathematical or logical system created to represent and study how something works, using precise rules and symbols rather than real-world messiness.
