That also makes no sense. The term 'period' assumes a duration, hence it assumes time.
As for being 'logically prior', that is also a meaningless phrase in context. Logic doesn't have a causal relationship with anything in the real world since it is a *language* we use to describe the real world.
Actually, as far as cause/effect, there is the view that temporally it is simultaneous, but is logically prior. There was a recent example in another thread of a ball breaking through a window. The window breaks as the ball hits the window and transfers energy.
