'in-principle' is in principle ok, but the term gives a hint that what follows is not the case. At least for persons with knwlegde of the life in the former Soviet block.
It is better dropped.

What happens in the human brain is observable only (indirectly) with electro-encephalogram and the like, so: if this is the intended meaning, it is just a physical process as any other, e.g. those involving human like blood pressure vslue, hearth beat, etc. and not worth special mentioning. If instead this statement refers to (suggests?) observation of thinking, this is (luckily) not observable. > involving and affecting in a characteristic way instances of E77 Persistent > Item, brought about by some coherent physical, social or technological > phenomena. An instance of E5 Event may or may not Only what *may* be affected, or *may not* be affected, somehow supports an identity criterium. What may or may not be affected looks as irrelevant, because we cannot understand from the consequences (or lack thereof) that some event took place, leading to an observed change (or lack of change), because the event may or may not have led to such change. > lead > to relevant permanent changes of properties and relations of items involved > in it. > Properties and kinds of things that may be affected are characteristic for > the type of an event. > This is somehow contradictory with the previous statement: it states that there are things that may be affected, and other things that may not; perhaps also a third grouping that “may or may not". In all, it is a bit messy.
