teleonomy
Teleonomy is the quality of apparent purposefulness and of goal-directedness of structures and functions in living organisms brought about by natural laws (like natural selection). The term derives form two Greek words, ''telos'' (end, purpose) and ''nomos'' (law), and means "end-directed" (literally "purpose-law"). Teleonomy is sometimes posited instead of teleology, where the latter is understood as a purposeful goal-directedness brought about through human or divine intention. Teleonomy is thought to derive from evolutionary history, adaptation for reproductive success, and/or the operation of a program. Teleonomy is related to programmatic or computational aspects of purpose.
==History==
In 1958, Colin Pittendrigh first proposed the term "teleonomy" to stand in contrast with "teleology", which applies to ends that are planned by an agent which can internally model/imagine various alternative futures and enables intention, purpose and foresight. In 1962, Grace A. de Laguna's "The Role of Teleonomy in Evolution" fleshed the applicability of the term to biological history and adaptation.
