"A certain stage of development and the process itself can only be fully underst
ood when we know the endpoint of the process, the result, the direction it took,
 and the form into which the given process developed." (Vygotsky, 1997, Vol.3, p
. 235).

That is, it can only be known after the fact, retrospectively.
I wonder if the affect in deixis offered to us by susan via benveniste
might be a way to obtain a more "online" manifested form of process?
