Question from a non-expert: How does this fit in with the idea of quantum teleportation? i.e. if quantum teleportation is somehow instantly changing a pair of particles no matter how far apart, how can that work when the CA is limited to a max speed of info transfer?

I found it very interesting how this actually revises the idea that you gain mass as you approach the speed of light... instead you sort of "out run" the CA such that it can't transmit all the force info onto ya ?

I also found it quite discouraging that it is impossible to break out of the sim on our own. Perhaps we can somehow get the attention of the people running the sim and have them upload us into "real space" ?
