Events are like functions, whose “arguments” are incoming tokens, and whose output is one or more outgoing tokens. In “quant finance”—which, yes, coincidentally sounds a bit like “quantum”—it’s for example common to estimate prices from looking at the effects of all possible paths, say approximated by Monte Carlo.).
