Recent no-go theorems on interpretations of quantum theory featuring an assumption of `Absoluteness of Observed Events' (AOE) are shown to have an unexpectedly strong corollary: one cannot reject AOE and at the same time assume that the `observed events' in question can all be embedded within a single background space-time common to all observers. Consequently, interpretations that reject AOE appear incompatible with a `block universe' view of space-time.

Is Quantum Mechanics Universal? EWF Experiments and Non Absoluteness of Events
Convivial Solipsism is presented as a coherent interpretive framework that resolves the non-absoluteness of events in quantum mechanics while maintaining universality and intersubjectivity.
