4. 'X has function F' implies 'X ought to F'

Why

Recall from #1's Why that to have a function is to be necessary to achieve a success condition. So in a well-ordered, successful system, X does F. A particular system might be disordered, so we can only say 'X ought to F'. E.g. “Human body temperature ought to be less than 45°C”.
