[xmca] lsv "sketching the future" -- From tool and sign?



David and others interested in Tool and Symbol--

In his article on Dot and Anna's fine collection of essays on ideas of
non-classical
psychology, Vladimir Zinchenko quotes from Tool and Sign (I think!), to the
following
effect.

It is the workings of symbolic operations that allow for a completely novel
type of psychological
field to emerge; such a field is uniquely new because it does not rely on
what already exists, but
instead makes a sketch of the future, and in doing so, creates free action
that in independent of the
immediate situation. (citation of Russian version, 1984, p. 50).

I have been searching the copy of T&S I have handy and can not find it.
Might you, who are now taking
a fine tooth comb to the text, be able to help out here?
