Even if we accept that premise, taking an evolutionary perspective means acknowledging that the brain could, in the future, evolve toward other dominant traits besides prediction. In that sense, the definition becomes elusive and time-dependent: what we call the brain's "purpose" today might only describe a temporary evolutionary state rather than a fixed function.
