Interesting analysis. Hence, a message's EFFECT achieves a reality independent of any LIE it was borne of? A possible example would be that the Declaration of Independence's statement that all men are equal while being a LIE at the time it was written (T. Jefferson and many of the Independence crew owned slaves) achieved an independent reality later. Indeed, the 13th amendment and later Civil Rights laws in the 60's aimed to hone this independent reality.
