I would have to go read Valsinder on novelty, but very important is the
issue of social uptake/interpretation/construction. "New" knowledge is
a subset of "accident" or the constant variation that accompanies all
action. Only a part of this ever becomes lexicalized, remembered, taken
up. Sort of by analogy, in terms of the social subject, of "I forgot the
word I wanted to say, and thought, unembodied, returned to the hall of
shadows" a la LSV. That, at least, is my current understanding.
