The concept for this is called decoherence

  [...] freezing the quantum observables in space and time [...] also sounds like the quantum Zeno effect [1] which is kind of the opposite of decoherence [2].

    I think the parent is using the terms here in a very loose way and it's not trying to refer to the quantum zeno effect but rather the emergence of the classical world.

      Yes, that is what I tried to convey: The emergence of the classical reality from quantum effects. Sorry for not having been clearer.
