"Was this supposed to be "For an event e-1..."? Teleologically it appears 
as if the numbers should be reversed (so that t2>t1, ie attributing the 
pre-sequel with a smaller number)?"

Right. Sorry for the typo. 

quotes my:

> 1. For any event e1, taking place in t1, if the metalinguistic

Okay. What I meant to say is that a pre-sequel is a report of an event that 
relates to ANOTHER report of ANOTHER event, such that the presequel report 
post-dates the original report, while the event reported in the presequel 
PRE-dates the event reported in the original report.

Perhaps Geary or Paul may help me formalize that?

Cheers,

JL
