"A group of viewers gathers on a sunny day in April on an empty, snow-covered field. One hears a bell ringing under the snow. Nothing else happens. The viewers leave the field. The bell continues to ring. Is the event over? After all, the bell continues to ring. The viewers do not know. They will find this out only later when they read the description of the action or the commentaries on it. We use the term 'empty action' to describe such elements during which nothing takes place." - Andrei Monastyrski
