The "superstep" that we practically impose upon simulations of entropy and emergence is out of accord with our modern understanding of non-regularly-quantizable spacetime. The debuggable Von Neumann instruction pipeline precludes "in-RAM computing" which conceivably does converge if consensus-level error correction is necessary.

The term 'superstep' reminds me of the HashLife algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashlife for computing the Game of Life. It computes multiple generations at the same time, and runs at different speeds in different parts of the universe, but only with the purpose of computing CGoL faster, not to introduce any relativity.
