To move from merely functional to truly optimal, you must develop the motor patterns and energy systems not in 3 dimensions but in 6. To optimize your fitness, you must take the three-dimensional movement of functional training and add the rotational aspects of pitching, yawing and rolling to the translational elements of swaying, heaving and surging. Instead of viewing the body as locked to the ground, optimizing fitness views the body as free in space to move as a jet fighter, rather than as a tank.
