What, exactly, is an event?

Here are a few of Whitehead's characterizations:

"a complex unity, whose ingredients involve all reality beyond itself, restricted under the limitation of its pattern of aspects"

"... a function of unification of a plurality of things which are other than [itself]"

"... an activity, organising a real togetherness of alien things"

 All quotations are from SMW: 216 f.
