Is there an anthropic reason or computational (solomonoff-pilled) argument for why we would expect to the computational/causal graph of the universe to be this local (sparse)? Or at least appear local to a first approximation. (Bells-inequality)
This seems like a quite special property: I suspect that ether
it is not as rare in e.g. the solomonoff prior as we might first intuit, or
we should expect this for anthropic resons e.g. it is really hard to develop intelligence/do precidctions in nonlocal universes.
In physics, it is sometimes asked why there should be just three (large) space dimensions. No one really knows, but there are various mathematical properties unique to three or four dimensions, to which appeal is sometimes made.
I would also consider the recent (last few decades) interest in the emergence of spatial dimensions from entanglement. It may be that your question can be answered by considering these two things together.
