This is indeed a matter on the philosophical end of semantics rather than
the grammatical end. However, if the semantics of "nu" has even the
most microscopic resemblance to what "event" means, then a nu is something
that consists of a portion of spacetime. "2+2=4" does not consist of a
portion of spacetime.

Oi, a problem.  I aagree that 2+2 = 4 is not an event.  But it does seem to
be a fact --  and a necessary one.  So, maybe facts -- in Lojban (I am less
sure it ever arose in English) -- are not events.  Propositions?
