Relationships

A Function implements one Verb: a Function is how a Verb runs: code, a generative model, an Agent or a Human, and the caller never sees which. implements, inverse implementedBy.
A Function uses many Secrets: a Function declares the Secrets it reads; deploying to live fails when one is missing there. uses, inverse usedBy.
