Heterotelic is a response that moves towards 1 goal and away from another while homeotilic moves towards both.
ie- I want to reach a 3% wr and weigh 150lbs.
Fasting lowers my expenses and weight so it is homeotilic.
Buying some weight loss pill or lap band surgery is heterotelic since I'd increase my expenses/decrease my assets though I'd move towards my weight loss goal.
Driving to work vs biking to work.
Meeting a lover at a night club/restaurant vs a picnic at the park/beach.
Web of goals works from the 2nd and 3rd order effects of actions (fish bone diagram) so that each action affects multiple desired goals.
ie-By biking to the library I increase my understanding, lower my expenses, lower my weight, increase my cardiovascular health, decrease my carbon footprint-relative to buying books from Amazon.
ie-Moving closer to work/groceries and walking daily vs commuting by car for an hour-lower weight, increase cardiovascular health, decrease carbon footprint, improve mood, more connected to local community.
ie- Freecycle vs buying new-lower carbon footprint, lower expenses, build community, less landfill waste
ie-Park/beach date increases health, time in nature, cooking, relaxing time while night club/restaurant tends to decrease these while costing more so nightclub/restaurant may satisfy one of my desired outcomes (love) while decreasing others (wealth, nature time, etc.)
So IIRC, the point of the web of goals is to have your life set up so each action affects multiple goals and any specific action can be changed without affecting your cultivation of desired outcomes.
I see this as related to heterotilic vs homotilic since actions will be more homotilic in a well-designed web of goals with each action moving you towards goals.
