All phenomena that can be objects of communication (objects expressed and means of expression) can be objects of communication only because they are objects of consciousness and as objects they exist only dependent on conceptual imputation, i.e. they lack truth.
"water boils at 212°F under atmospheric pressure"

This (formal expression) lacks truth?
From the perspective of the philosophical liguistic system applied, yes. Why? Because althought the expression is conventionally correct from its perspective the object arising from it is not true from its own side because it exists only dependent on conceptual imputation.
What is the object here?
The object is the idea as meaning entity arising upon seeing a concatenation of signs/forms which looks like that: "water boils at 212°F under atmospheric pressure".
Inspiration is based on the exchange of different linguistic expressions. But inspiration is best knowing how language relates to truth. :smile:
