Well again, I see engineering as a potential answer. From a statistical point of view what you said seems true but when you're manipulating very specific devices directly at that level, you're capable of doing more than the broad generalization available through the statistical application of theory. Closest analogy I have in mind is the layering of densities, creating a 'hollow' as it were that can run at a different rate of time and be generally unaffected by the forces (sorry I used forces... I mean gauges) - that construct the walls.... so long as you stay away from the walls that is. I suppose I'm thinking a lattice of gauges being used as construction material like... how to analogize.. like.. ok, like saddle points. Ok. Saddle points in many bodied gravitational systems.
