What is the "atomic event" in the TON Blockchain? (Whitepaper)
from Howard

The following content appears in this whitepaper (https://docs.ton.org/tblkch.pdf):

> For instance, each outbound message created in a transaction is assigned its logical creation time; for this purpose, the creation of an outbound message is considered an atomic event.

This statement appears seven times. After checking in detail, I found that it's related to Logical Time (LT).

My question now is, what does "atomic event" mean, and how is it generated and defined? Can we say it represents the idea of a continuous and unbroken chain, meaning that the transaction is a series of effects from end to end?
