I'm right with you on this. It just makes so much sense to me. It makes sense imo, given any large system in distributed programming needs to be coherent to work. AFAIK coherence is entanglement. So in order for the system to have an actually meaningful, consistent structure, there needs to be some sort of synchronization/coherence. In distributed systems, you need both time and space (propagation delay and # coherent/up to date nodes for a given "quanta" of information exchange) before you can complete a "strongly consistent" read or write. Trying to ask the system for coherent state about anything in an update on timescales finer than the propagation delay or using less than the required # of nodes for consistency is kind of nonsensical.

Idk. In general, the idea of emergence seems to be the best answer we have for a ton of physical phenomena around us. I'm betting/putting my faith that gravity could end up one as well, unless/until someone proves otherwise.
