Suppose you lived in a "rewind universe" where what you see in the
video is just normal behaviour and the laws of mechanics were unknown.
At first I think the concept of teleology would be used to explain the
phenomena. Perhaps the laws of mechanics would emerge latter to
explain portions of the phenomena, but teleology would always be
regarded as part of the universe. Contrast this with the "forward
universe" of modern physics where teleology is given no role
whatsoever.
