localization. As long as the observer does not reflect the<br />
incoming phase wave, the event does not take place,<br />
Here again the individual events are indeterminable. In the<br />
Transactional Interpretation the state vector is considered to be a<br />
real physical wave emitted as an "offer wave" based on the<br />
preparation procedure of the experiment. The "confirmation<br />
wave" is also real so that a real standing wave is produce, which<br />
forms the guiding path. We will never know the process until the<br />
transaction is complete. When the transaction is over the input<br />
itself have changed and is totally collapsed beyond its original<br />
form to make any consistent deduction about it. As long as we<br />
are able to observe only what we know in history and our own<br />
present experience, we only know what is received and can in<br />
any reasonable level understand neither the offer wave nor the<br />
process of transaction in any given historic event.<br />
8.2 Consistent Histories Interpretation<br />
In the Consistent Histories Interpretation we have a similar<br />
situation because there the observed event again is a<br />
fundamental input in the sense that it determines the set of<br />
possible histories consistent with the observation made. There is<br />
no attempt to try to explain why a specific event happened<br />
except for the fact that it be consistent with the observed fact.<br />
<strong>Quantum</strong> mechanics makes predictions with respect to an<br />
ensemble of many individual events. These predictions are only<br />
to give the possible observed values of any situation. These<br />
