Atelic describes actions, activities, or linguistic processes that are done for their own sake, lacking a specific end goal or final resolution. The term stems from the Greek word telos (meaning "goal" or "end") combined with the prefix "a-" (meaning "not").
A friendship with no telos doesn't serve anything. It just is. So it can outlast all sorts of contexts. https://x.com/arthurbrooks/status/2062552059598025150
