In physics, events are often described as interactions at specific points in spacetime.
The order of events in spacetime can be described using the concept of a “worldline”.
A worldline is a sequence of events that describe the path of an Particle through spacetime.
The events in a worldline are ordered by time.
The path of the Particle can be described as a sequence of events.
The set of observables is a subset of the set of events.
Time-like connected events are ordered. That is, Lorentz transformations don't change the order of events.
Space-like connected events are not ordered. That is, Lorentz transformations do change the order of some events.
Scalar quantities include energy and information (order).
Vector quantities include force and momentum.
