Btw., this requires that "they" are
- individually ("time for time") distinguishable, and also
- "over and over" classifiable (being "of one kind, or the other" etc.)
Also required (or to consider):
The "effect thing" should never have been found without prior occurence of the "cause thing". (You might call that "the simplest/essential model".)

For me, the key distinction is whether the #memory is encoded with information about a #narrative of one's experiences, i.e. is the memory placed #spatially, #temporally, and #causally within an account of your trajectory through life (i.e. relative to other #episodic memories)?
But, per AllenLab's point, the mixture of these things will be different for different memories, so one could imagine a more refined taxonomy.
