In summary, a prime re: event is a significant and impactful event that can have a major influence on a situation, system, or society. It is different from a regular event in that it is usually more significant and has a more profound impact, often marking a turning point or critical moment in history. Examples of prime re: events include natural disasters, political revolutions, major technological advancements, and significant cultural shifts. These events can have both positive and negative impacts, depending on the context and perspective of those affected. Scientists study prime re: events by analyzing data, conducting experiments, and using various research methods to understand their causes, effects, and implications.

I have run into a use of the symbol usually called prime (y' for example) in the description of an event.

P(A or B')

Please, what does it mean?
