This organizes them by default to have a positive outlook and attitude, and to notice for commonalities as a starting point. \newline % Row Count 19 (+ 9) {\bf{Teleological Orientation}} \newline % Row Count 20 (+ 1) Another unique aspect of the model is the strong teleological orientation that pulls the system forward to the end point, and organizes it in relation to outcome versus circumstance or response to current evidence only. A model within the model, The Trajectory of Intent, clearly lays out the movement of action forward as influenced by information flowing from the future to the present and shaping the past in relation to itself.
