The teleopgical explanation tries to see beneficial purpose in a given phenomenon.

This jerky inspiratory effort asscoiated with closure of glottis, is opposite of jerky expiratory effort such as sneeze or cough, which are aimed at throwing out foreign material from the lungs.

The hiccups therefore appear to be efforts to jerkily bring in outside air, apparently to prevent possible collapse, as a result of the signal for the hiccup, which apears to be anything that mimicks the sudden collapse.

So it appears that, any stimulation of vagus or phrenic nerves or diaphragm itself; due to any pathology, when appears akin to beginning of the process of sudden collapse, the hiccups are generated.

Experiemntal verification may be done by simulating impending collapse of various degrees and seeing the response of body.

What does teleological?

Teleological means describing events as happening for purposes, for example, the sun shines in order to keep the Earth warm; the non-teleological version would be that the sun shines because of the process of nuclear fusion that takes place inside it. Or, a teleological explanation for why the rain falls, is to help the crops to grow. Non-teleologically, the rain falls because changes in air temperature will eventually cause water vapor to condense into droplets which at some point will become too large to remain suspended in the air, and which will fall due to the force of gravity. I could say that chemical reactions are driven by the desire of atoms to have eight electrons in their outer shell, which is teleological, but I could also say non-teleologically that an atom with eight electrons in its outer shell has a stable arragnement of electrons. See how that works?
