Freedom, Teleodynamism, Creativity

open access: yesFoucault Studies, 2014
After presenting a critique of both negative and positive freedom this essay pursues the relation between creativity and freedom, drawing upon Foucault, Deleuze and Nietzsche to do so.  Once you have understood Nietzsche’s reading of a culturally infused nest of drives in a self, the task becomes easier.

Teleodynamic Learning a new Paradigm For Interpretable AI

open access: yesCoRR
We introduce Teleodynamic Learning, a new paradigm for machine learning in which learning is not the minimization of a fixed objective, but the emergence and stabilization of functional organization under constraint. Inspired by living systems, this framework treats intelligence as the coupled evolution of three quantities: what a system can represent,

A Primer on Teleodynamic Semantics, Part II: A Formal Model of Teleodynamic Architecture

open access: yes
Teleodynamic Semantics proposes that reality can be understood as a structured field of trans- formations rather than a collection of static entities. The state of a system unfolds within a fourfold architecture linking objective manifestation, mental representation, operative mediation, and wit- nessing awareness. Transformations within this field are

Structural Teleodynamics

open access: yes
This paper develops a structural account of crisis and renewal in complex systems. It argues that contemporary civilizational tensions are not primarily moral or political failures, but symptoms of a diminished capacity to regulate necessary transitions.

Toward Teleodynamic Architectures in Artificial Intelligence

open access: yes
Large language models generate coherent text by predicting what is most likely to follow in a sequence. This approach has proven remarkably powerful. Yet prediction alone does not necessarily amount to goal-directed semantic organization. This paper asks a structural question: Is it sufficient to model sequences, or must we also model the rules by ...

Self-Attention as a Zeno Operator: Toward a Formal Basis of Teleodynamic Coherence

open access: yes
In modern language models self-attention realizes, at the algorithmic level, what the quantum-mechanical Zeno operator expresses formally and what teleo- dynamic theory describes philosophically: the stabilization of evolving systems through continuous self-measurement.

From Crisis to Transformative Realization: A Teleodynamic Account of Omega4+

open access: yes
This essay develops a teleodynamic account of Omega4+ as a form of higher-order transformation that goes beyond mere systemic adaptation. It argues that genuine transformation requires more than crisis awareness, conceptual critique, or technical procedure: it presupposes a reconfiguration of the semantic field itself, including the position of the ...

Modernity, Crisis, Transformation: A Teleodynamic Research Program

open access: yes
This article reconstructs the research series Modernity, Crisis, Transformation as a unified teleodynamic research program. Its central claim is that the crisis of modernity is not primarily a crisis of values, beliefs, or information, but a crisis of form.
