And I didn't even get to the Trinity Formula with its ghostly personifications: "capital -- interest, land -- ground rent, labour -- wages"!
Faced with the flotsam and jetsam of two millennia of reductionist ideological bricolage, I'm not holding my breath waiting for the adoption of a rigorous theory of events. Besides, the Stoic terms -- and Locke's -- can readily be interpreted as events. A *lock* is both a noun and a verb. In fact, the (*n.*) *mechanism* for fastening a door is ineffectual unless it is actively (*v.t.*) *fastened*.
