In fact this is what I wanted to indicate with the term "functional".
In the analog world you are often using the terms "natural" or "lumped"
for models with conservative behavior (low abstraction).
Highly abstracted models for discrete/digital simulators are often called
functional or algorithmic (or signalflow if they contain f(t) expressions).

Perhaps; although that is perhaps assuming the end result.
If you don't like "approximate" how about "more abstract"?
