Where are you obtaining the packages you are trying to install...
The current packages at
https://www.tensorflow.org/install confusingly
state "64-bit systems" but then go on to list Raspbian (which is still a
32-bit Debian variant). [NOTE: I'm having difficulty navigating that site
-- it seems that Firefox does not like something in their CSS or related so
some text is corrupted].
I focus on the Raspbian option as that is the closest to the BBB. You
may need to follow
https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source_rpi and
discover what needs to change in the build procedure/code to fit the BBB.
Alternatively, you may need
https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source
following the Linux (and macOS) instructions.
TensorFlow does not appear to be a "pure Python" package, and relies
upon compiled (C/C++) extension libraries. Any Linux "pre-built" package is
likely built for 64-bit Intel/AMD architectures and will never run on a
BBB. Downloading -- if possible -- the R-Pi "wheel" file MIGHT allow it to
install on BBB if explicitly naming the downloaded file (rather than having
pip look for a compatible download).
debian@beaglebone:~$ pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow
