Speaking of the event itself already generates an event.

Evidence

At the turbulent and paradoxical heart of this book, which projects nothing less than an unheard history, a history of time as a ‘history of the future’, and hence as a history of the ‘event’, there lies a powerful demonstration. It comes to itself and is formed precisely from this fold: as soon as an idea of the event is advanced, a discourse or a text on the event is proposed, and at the very moment when a history of the event is designated, there is, already, creation and formation of an event. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 47

• DEFINE: Defines the event’s self-reflexive structure: naming the event constitutes one.
