Q. What exactly is developing?

A. From a highly formal and #Semiotic point of view, what develops is a #SignRelation.

P.S. The basic idea is really as old as #Aristotle, with a few new twists by C.S. #Peirce, who taught #WilliamJames psychology could be an experimental science.

Here's a thumbnail sketch of #Peirce's #Semiotics and the first division in the classification of signs, forked from what I wrote for Wikipedia some years ago.

I'll always be talking about Peircean semiotics here.

Up until 15 or 20 years ago folks observed the distinction between #Peirce's #Semiotics or #Semeiotics and #Saussure's #Semiology, but then some European schools decided the latter term was not sexy enough and they switched. More confusion than fusion ensued. Today we have as much pop semiotics as pop psychology, which is a good when it draws people into the fold but less good when it leaves the field spindled and mutilated.

One way to test a supposed knowledge is to try to formulate it in such a way that it can be taught to other people. A related test, harder in some ways but easier in others, is to try to formalize it so completely that even a computer could go through the motions that are supposed to be definitive of its practice.

Both types of sign-using systems, #Commerce and #Communication, are prey to the same sort of dysfunction or functional disease — it sets in when users confound signs and objects so severely as to take signs for ends instead of means.

There is a vast literature on this topic, once you think to go looking for it. And it’s a perennial theme in fable and fiction.

[ET:]
Well the truth value can be true or false or something else — akin to \(5+5=12\) being a true statement, if one knows what base it involves, else it may be false. The same for \(4+4=10\) being a true statement, if one knows what base it involves.

[JA:]
Yes, reference is relative to a frame of reference. In #PragmaticSemiotics, frames of reference are called #SignRelations.

[JA:]
A statement \(S_0\) asserts that a statement \(S_1\) is a statement that \(S_1\) is false.

The statement \(S_0\) violates an #Axiom of #Logic, so it doesn’t really matter whether the ostensible statement \(S_1,\) the so-called “#Liar”, really is a statement or has a #TruthValue.
