Dispositional states are correctly typed by their functional role and teleological aim, not by their token actualization, so unexpressed blame can still be communicative in its functional essence.

Communicative(as used in philosophy of language and pragmatics): Expressing or conveying meaning, information, or a message to someone else—whether directly or indirectly.
Dispositional states(what the predictor observes about you): Your underlying tendencies or character traits that make you likely to act a certain way, beyond just the specific action itself.
Teleological aim(as used in metaphysics and philosophy of action): The goal or purpose that something is directed toward. The word 'teleological' comes from 'telos,' meaning 'end goal'—so this describes what something is *for* or trying to accomplish.
Token actualization(as used in metaphysics and philosophy of language): An actual, specific instance of something happening right now. A 'token' is one particular occurrence (like one token coin), so this means the concrete, real event taking place—as opposed to just the potential or capacity for it.
