"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:
> META-LANGUAGE (qualification).
> 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
