Functionality

• 1 Any Function may have parameters that will affect the output of the Function when it is expressed.
  
• 2 That the cellular environment modifies the Functions expression as a input parameter.
  
• 3 That while real time parameter(input) changes will temporarily alter the Functions output or expression, the Function itself will remain unaltered.
  
• 4 There must be a way for external stimuli to be reacted to at a cellular level. (Adaptation)
  
• 5 The genetic instructions for any given adaptation must already exist within the DNA of the organism.
  
• 6 Most adaptations will be found to be variables within a Function that are conserved.
  
• 7 These Function variables are constrained to within hard limits, as if using a -1 to 1 scale.
  
• 8 If the hard limits could be identified, outliers beyond those limits, through genetic malfunctions, will be found to be ultimately deleterious to the organism.
  
• 9 Because the underlying Function has not been altered, only the input, it is possible for later generations to revert, though the process would take several generations, most likely.
  
• 10 Reverting to a previous genetic state is only possible if the genetic information required for the initial state has been conserved. Deleterious mutations could prevent later reversion.
  
• 11 These Functions will have quality control processes that attempt to validate incoming parameter variables and output results.
  
• 12 That there will be no non-functional code. If a code appears non-functional, it will generally be a function we have not discovered yet. This does not preclude legacy malfunctioning code. Malfunctioning code is non-operative, not non-functional in the sense that it did not originally have a function.
  
• 13 Life is very dependent upon time and timing. Function timing will be tightly controlled.(Enzymes)
