Is it just based on once it reaches a threshold amount of energy, if so how does it know what type of particle pair it should convert into.
Bonus Question: When pair production does happen, are the particles ‘spawned in’ at different locations otherwise wouldn’t they just instantly annihilate each other. If it does ‘spawn in’ at different locations wouldn’t that require some sort of information transfer via a force or a particle?

We can only calculate probabilities, we can never predict what a single photon will do. What happens ‘under the hood’ is up to interpretation.
