.....the term "setting events" with great care primarily because the functional nature of the term is unclear. ..... no particular controlling relation is identified with the term. Instead, the term appears to be characterized in terms of topographical features of environmental variables, such as complexity, temporal delay of effects, presence/absence-of-object, and so on.
