Teleogenesis
In the theory of cybernetics, teleogenesis is the creation of goal-creating processes.
According to Peter Corning:
"A cybernetic system is by definition a dynamic purposive system; it is 'designed' to pursue or maintain one or more goals or end-states".
Teleogenesis refers from an extension of classical cybernetics, as proposed by Norbert Wiener, Ashby and others in late 1950s.
