I understand that the meaning of the phrase “as of” is time related, e.g.: takes effect as of July 1.
But while looking up on in Collins Dictionary, I found a use of "as of" that didn't make sense to me. In #13, it says: “as of a statement or action”.
The same situation I found in #20: ”as of a mechanical operation”.
In #28 I found a similar phrase: ”as on stage”.
I have trouble in understanding these three definitions, so would you please explain their meaning?
