Does "telos" just mean we can predict the end state of a thing without predicting the intermediate states?

@GabrielDuquette Is there a better word to use for a predictable end state that doesn't require predictable intermediate states?

@MemberOfSpecies @GabrielDuquette attractor; equilibrium; fixed point

@InstanceOfClass @GabrielDuquette And then you can talk about how that counterfactual attractor plus interventions produce actual attractors

@MemberOfSpecies @GabrielDuquette I mean, the claim here is false.

@InstanceOfClass @GabrielDuquette I didn't say you could talk about it very successfully.

@MemberOfSpecies @GabrielDuquette Some false claims are really interesting anyway, but why this one?
