Let *e* = *e0* be another event (possibly another
`m.room.power_levels` event). We can compute a similar list of events
[*e*1, ..., *em*],
-where *e*j*+1* is the `m.room.power_levels` event in the

`auth_events` of *ej* and where *em* has no

+`m.room.power_levels` event in its `auth_events`. (Note that the event we
+started with, *e0*, is not included in this list. Also note that it
may be empty, because *e* may not cite an `m.room.power_levels` event in its
`auth_events` at all.)
