How does 'the last thing to happen' prevent the activation of Chain link 1's card effect in 'missing the timing' in Yu-Gi-Oh?

Take Peten the Dark Clown, who has an effect that says when he is sent to the graveyard, you can remove him from play to special summon another one from deck. The 'you can' bit is important as it marks his trigger as Optional rather than a Mandatory trigger, and the rulings have a slight difference.
In short, his trigger condition was met when he went to the graveyard, but something else 'happened' (a resolution, or a summon) before that effect could be activated. The game rules say that something made the trigger 'miss the timing'.
If the trigger was a mandatory one, then the above would not matter. If it had been a Sangan for example, then the trigger will start a new chain after everything before it has finished resolving.
But the rulings for Optional Triggers (any trigger that says 'when' and 'you can' activate it) say that they will 'miss the timing' if something resolves or is summoned after the condition is met.
Peten therefore misses the timing if:
- He is tributed for the summon of a Lv5+ monster, or sent to the graveyard as a component in a Synchro Summon. (The summon makes him miss the timing)
- He is tributed for the activation of a card or effect, such as Enemy Controller's second ability (The card activates and resolves before Peten would be allowed to trigger. The resolution makes him miss the timing)
- He is sent to the graveyard at chain link 2 or higher in a resolving chain (chain link 1 resolves before he can activate, making him miss the timing)
Peten will not miss the timing if:
- He is destroyed by battle,
- He is sent to the graveyard as the last action in a resolving chain,
- He activates, but something is chained. If he activatescorrectly, then it doesn't matter that chained effects resolve first. Only his initial activation can miss the timing.
- If two Petens are destroyed at the same time (one on either side of the field) then both will trigger 'simultaneously', one becomes chain link 1, one becomes chain link 2. Because both were activated correctly, neither misses the timing.

Do you have to pay the cost upon activation in a chain or not until the card effect actually resolves in Yu-Gi-Oh?
Costs are paid on activation of the effect.
Will Mystical Space typhoon stop the activation of Spiritualism?
Mystical Space Typhoon is a destruction card, not a negation card. So there is no point chaining it to the activation of other spell cards unless they are some form of continuous card. Spiritualism's activation can't be negated. That means you can't chain a negation card to it. You can chain MST if you like but destroying Spiritualism's card after activation will not prevent the effect resolving as normal.
