Hi Luc, For me this is about, saying the following: blogpost wasDerivedFrom Report at 10am Thursday Sure there is some process there, there may be an interval. But I just don't want to assert all that information. Again, my fundamental thing is that I want to assert derivation chains without (knowingly) asserting anything about process. Maybe the point is I'm looking for a shortcut such that if I assert a time it automagically infers that the e2, and e1 are on the same time line using the same clock and are the same time? Does that make sense?
