goal-seeking

• Virtually all goal-seeking agents exhibit goal homeotaxis: that is, if perturbed away from an intended goal, a teleological entity will actively correct for the perturbation and reorient toward the goal.

• All goal-seeking agents have a semantically encoded program which is encoded, stored, activated, and replayed in a physical medium.

One approach would be to determine what empirical characteristics a widely accepted goal-seeking process has, and then to see if the the processes by which living organisms have come to exist exhibit those same characteristics.

I'm not so sure of the latter, or of science's ability to weigh in on that sort of question, depending on what you mean by 'of themselves' or goal-seeking.

Edit: i. e, nature is a "goal-seeking algorithmic process".

Or how about "goal-seeking algorithmic process?" aiguy: I also think this particular definition encompasses evolutionary processes …

Knowledge is information that is available to a goal-seeking process.
