{{one source |date=March 2024}} {{inline |date=March 2025}} In the theory of cybernetics, '''teleogenesis''' (from the Greek ''teleos'' = 'purpose' and ''genesis'' = 'creation') 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.
