Charity led me to understand that, because the use of that word only makes sense in the case time travel, he just meant to use another word that means succeeds, replaces or 'is greater than'. But time travel is more interesting.
Google led me to understand that 'precede' is in fact such a word. Agreed about time travel, though.
(My googling leads me to maintain that the use of precede in that context remains wrong.)
I can't find a source for that pronoun in Dwelle's past posts.
