An Event Instance is an occurrence that involves temporal specificity, spatial context, and participant involvement within a defined boundary of time and space.
- AKA: Specific Occurrence, Discrete Event, Time-Bound Happening, Situated Occurrence, Bounded Occurrence.
- Context:
- It can typically possess Temporal Boundary through event instance beginning and event instance conclusion.
- It can typically occupy Spatial Context through event instance location.
- It can typically involve Event Participant through event instance attendance or event instance engagement.
- It can typically feature Event Entity through event instance component.
- It can typically produce Event Outcome through event instance completion.
- ...
- It can often be in Sequence Relation with preceding event instances and succeeding event instances.
- It can often contain Event Co-Occurrence through simultaneous event instance happening.
- It can often be triggered by Event Trigger through event instance initiation.
- It can often follow Event Structure through event instance pattern.
- It can often create Event Impact through event instance consequence.
- ...
- It can range from being a Brief Event Instance to being an Extended Event Instance, depending on its event instance duration.
- It can range from being a Simple Event Instance to being a Complex Event Instance, depending on its event instance component quantity.
- It can range from being a Deterministic Event Instance to being a Random Event Instance, depending on its event instance predictability.
- It can range from being a Negative Event Instance to being a Positive Event Instance, depending on its event instance value.
- It can range from being a Planned Event Instance to being a Spontaneous Event Instance, depending on its event instance preparation level.
- It can range from being a Private Event Instance to being a Public Event Instance, depending on its event instance accessibility.
- It can range from being a Local Event Instance to being a Global Event Instance, depending on its event instance geographic scope.
- ...
- It can be initiated by natural cause, human action, technological system, or combined factors.
- It can occur in physical setting, digital environment, hybrid space, or conceptual realm.
- It can involve direct participation, indirect involvement, passive observation, or subsequent interaction.
- It can be experienced through immediate presence, remote access, recorded representation, or reported account.
- It can be represented by event instance reference through event record or event mention.
- It can be analyzed through event instance characteristics, event instance relationships, and event instance significance.
- It can be observed as a phenomenon located at a single point in space-time in relativity theory.
- It can transform pre-event state into post-event state through event instance process.

- Neutral Event Instances, such as:
- Positive Event Instances, such as:
- ...
- Event Instance Domains, such as:
- Counter-Examples:
- Continuous Process, which lacks defined temporal boundary and distinct beginning and end.
- Random Experiment Event, which represents a theoretical construct rather than an actual occurrence.
- Formal Operation, which exists as abstract procedure without temporal manifestation.
- Hypothetical Scenario, which represents potential occurrence rather than actual happening.
- General Pattern, which describes recurring structure rather than particular manifestation.
- Persistent State, which maintains ongoing condition rather than bounded occurrence.
- Theoretical Framework, which provides conceptual structure without temporal specificity.
- Gradual Transition, which involves incremental change without clear boundaries.

- 1. An occurrence of social or personal importance.
- 2. (physics) A point in spacetime having three spatial coordinates and one temporal coordinate
- 3. (computing) A possible action that the user can perform and is monitored by an application or the operating system (event listener). When an event occurs an event handler is called which performs a specific task.

- In philosophy, events are objects in time or instantiations of properties in objects. However, a definite definition has not been reached, as multiple theories exist concerning events.
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_(probability_theory)
- In probability theory, an event is a set of outcomes (a subset of the sample space) to which a probability is assigned. Typically, when the sample space is finite, any subset of the sample space is an event (i.e. all elements of the power set of the sample space are defined as events). However, this approach does not work well in cases where the sample space is infinite, most notably when the outcome is a real number. So, when defining a probability space it is possible, and often necessary, to exclude certain subsets of the sample space from being events

- QUOTE: In many medical studies an outcome of interest is the time to an event. Such events may be adverse, such as death or recurrence of a tumour; positive, such as conception or discharge from hospital; or neutral, such as cessation of breast feeding. It is conventional to talk about survival data and survival analysis, regardless of the nature of the event. Similar data also arise when measuring the time to complete a task, such as walking 50 metres.
The distinguishing feature of survival data is that at the end of the follow up period the event will probably not have occurred for all patients. For these patients the survival time is said to be censored, indicating that the observation period was cut off before the event occurred.
