“…If there is no other, later minimal occurrence [S A , E A ] ∈ µ α , where S A < S A , with the same property, then [S A , E B ] is a minimal occurrence of γ. For example, for the sequence (1, a), (2, b), (3, a), (4, c), (5, b), (6, c), (7, d) and the episodes α = (a, b, c) and β = (b, c, d), we get µ α = { [1,4], [3,6]}, µ β = { [5,7]}, γ = (a, b, c, d), and µ γ = { [3,7]}.…”
