Function values are specific values which form the general properties of any construction with a specific function. A function has many function values, and any construction of that function also has those function values.
Function values can be changed for an individual construction, or for a function, which in turn would affect all constructions of that function.
Overview of all function values
Most function values have specific effects in the context of the Tygron Platform. Individual function values can be grouped into categories based on their effects or themes.
