In this two-part article, we review classical thought on teleology in the +life sciences and defend a new approach to goal-directedness that stems from an emerging field—diverse intelligence. This +field seeks to characterize what all active agents, regardless of their composition or provenance, have in common. Our +approach emphasizes: (l) empirical testability (not philosophical commitments to linguistic categories). (2) fecundity in +discovery of new capabilities (not just reductive mechanistic explanations of results after they are made, but worldviews +that facilitate and enable novel research), (3) operationalization of terminology by reference to conceptual and empiri- +cal toolkits shown to be effective for a given system (cognitive and teleological claims are really hypotheses of optimal +interaction protocols), and (4) continuity of human goal-directedness with our unicellular origins (which implies a need +for models of scaling of cognition).

The FEP +originated in neuroscience as an attempt to describe brain function and behaviour (Friston et al. +2006) and has since been extended to describe several kinds of things in the biological and +physical realms (Friston 2013; Friston et al. 2021) through a special kind of mechanics—a +Bayesian mechanics—that shares the same foundations with quantum, statistical, and classical +mechanics (Friston 2019; Friston et al. 2022).
