This is fundamentally wrong. Space-time and causality has a *very*
important meaning.  If don't use this information (directly or
indirectly) in your data modell or history graph you do something very
stupid. You simply won't optimize for the common case because you won't
scale with the fundamental physical laws of information exchange and
syncronisation, you just kind of break space-time-symmetrie. Ever
compared feynman diagrams to merge diagrams?

Yes even special relativity just boils down to "there is no absolut
simultaneity". So what? 

I'll predict if you break causality your kernel will suddenly
destabilize and explode like a nuclear bomb ;-)
