> I guess globally declared pure functions

They don't have to (and probably shouldn't) be globally defined.

I meant "globally declared" in contrast to instance-oriented (i.e. methods) rather than whether or not a function exists within a namespace, which is what I think you're implying.

A somewhat more common term is "free function". Comes from C++, in particular, where it means non-member functions (that is, not methods).
