Perplexed, I’m not sure I understood what you meant by
you can’t have a theory of meaning which deals only with consequences of statements being true but not with what actions put the universe into a state in which the statement becomes true.
Or if I agree with it at all. Wouldn’t statements about what actions make certain statements true simply be part of the first category? I don’t see a problem with only having statements and their consequences. I see you’ve made this comment 12 years ago, so I don’t know how you would stand on this today.
