Using the Maximum Speed of Light in a Simulation

The speed of light which we often call the speed of causality on this show does limit how quickly events can permeate and portabate. Trying to make use of exploits at the giant galactic scale therefore is kind of tricky because of the sheer time effort needed to do anything. But as an example of a possible hack if the light speed limit is there to minimize errors with two distant observers seeing different randomly generated things then there could easily be a hack that lets you just jump from place to place and with no hard limit on such motion.
