Conservation laws of physics propagate instantly
Physical conservation laws and interactions do not propagate instantly; rather, theories of modern physics and non-Markovian dynamics demonstrate that signals, closures, and responses operate with finite latency or temporal memory.
The claim asserts that conservation laws of physics propagate instantly. In physics, relativity forbids instantaneous propagation of information or physical fields, and advanced formulations (such as finite-latency frameworks, non-Markovian collapse models, and retarded potentials) explicitly incorporate propagation delays or finite equilibration. None of the provided papers support instantaneous propagation, while papers discussing finite-latency response kernels and non-local temporal dynamics refute the notion of instantaneous action.

Paper [6] models gravity in the quasi-static regime with finite equilibration and fractional memory, showing that discrete ledger closures yield non-instantaneous response kernels rather than instantaneous propagation.

Paper [10] discusses non-Markovian collapse models featuring colored noise, which introduce temporal non-locality and depart from strictly instantaneous or purely memoryless local physical dynamics.
