Abstract: . Function refers to a broad family of concepts of varying abstractness and range of application, from a many-one
mathematical relation of great generality to, for example, highly specialized roles of designed elements in complex machines such
as degaussing in a television set, or contributory processes to control mechanisms in complex metabolic pathways, such as the
inhibitory function of the appropriate part of the lac-operon on the production of lactase through its action on the genome in... (Update)
