In other words teleonomy apart from being a purpose driven language, is being used to describe quite real biological phenomena, which is quantifiable in terms of biology/physics equations/science.
Does the language of teleonomy tells us what it is good to do? That is, does it tell us what thing or action has a greater value than any other?
Normally "value" refers to this sort of thing.
The purpose of the vacuum cleaner is to keep your carpet clean. Whether a clean carpet is good or not is a value question.
