AFAIK/R, "ipso facto" means roughly "[up]on the fact itself", that is, either
"immediately", "with no delay", or "for the fact itself", "consequently",
"automatically".
As to "postfactum", both forms are recorded in my Calonghi dictionary
(Rosenberg & Sellier, 3rd ed.): postfactum, -i (normal form) and post factum.
