No, Andre, you read me incorrectly. I assume that "the event" refers to
experience. If so, our cognizance of events (observation) represents our
intellectual interpretation of experience. (The time sequence is of no
importance.)
The "independent observer" is crucial for the realization of value and its
objectification of otherness (physical reality). And value-sensibility
holds these contingencies together as negated "essents". But while Value is
our "primary connection" to Essence, it is the negation of Essence that
actualizes the differential nature of finitude. Hence, negation is primary
to difference (the Self/Other dichotomy), and individuated Sensibility is
primary to the (space/time) appearance of finite existents.
Here's the bottom line: The ontology of Essentialism supports the theory
that Absolute Essence is the "unmoved mover" which transcends the dynamics
of negation.
I hope this clarifies your misconception.
Essentially speaking,
Ham
