'previous'?

We all know the implementation of 'next' in a cue e.g. next Superbowl, but what about the last one? Last will probably give you the final event in the sequence. Does anyone know from proof of principal whether or not 'previous' is the word we are after? Will previous Superbowl actually work to give us the game that occurred yesterday?

It's been a few years, but you've been down this road, or one like it, before.

For obvious reasons, use 'most recent' vs. "previous."

Time is a measure of objects in space relative to other known objects. This would give relative location. Wouldn't you also need the location so there is something to measure from? The location of the prior Super bowl or former? Superbowl is a sporting event not a location or object in space. I suppose the matrix doesn't need objects?
