For each given class of selfmaintaining systems, the primary function Fp of T is the contribution of T to the selfmaintenance of S that is subject to closure in the more basic regime of self-maintenance. class of self-maintaining systems in which the function of the trait is defined.	./cache/work_b5mguw6g5rfb3jz5z5qpd76l3i.pdf	./txt/work_b5mguw6g5rfb3jz5z5qpd76l3i.txt
