Negative feedback can't explain teleology
Goal-directedness and feedback activity can't explain agency. An explanation of agency must address the formation of goals and beliefs, and the ability to change those goals and beliefs. Current machines only seek the goals they're programmed to.
Joseph Rychlak (1992).
