Abstract: The concept of event provides the essential bridge from the realm of virtuality of the quantum state to real phenomena in space and time. We ask how much we can gather from existing theory about their localization and point out that decoherence and coarse graining -- though important -- do not suffice for a consistent interpretation without the additional principle of random realization.
