   That defines the expiration policy for ReconfigEvent, but it does not
define the relationship between ReconfigEvent and DataReading. Imagine a
timeline, dotted with ReconfigEvents... what your rule is saying is for each
DataReading event, match it with all the "periods where there is no
ReconfigEvent", as the lifetime of DataReading is infinity.

   Maybe a simpler way of understanding it (without using the "not" for
simplification) is think about this:

declare Man
   @livesUpTo( 100 years )
end

rule "marriage"
when
   $w : Woman( age > 18 )
   $m : Man( )
then
   // marry woman and man
end

    The rule above defines that each woman will merry every existing man,
even if each of them only lives for 100 years.
