OK, so how does the vacuum compute distance

The vacuum uses counts instead of meters.  The axis is symmetry for a motion is the perpendicular where the 'particles' all stay with a specific 'action count' or a factor of the 'fundamental action' count, where count is in the Planks sense of actions are with counts.  That is why string theory ends up with vibrating strings, they vibrations are counts, and coherent counts relative to an axis it what constitutes the L spots. This brings us back to abstract algebra and groups,rings and fields as my college text called it.  But, in general is is queuing theory, the vacuum queues up a bit, congests. We use the expansion of space time to describe it in a metaphor so the engineers can relate to their graph paper.  But is is simple the bits of vacuum sometimes ends up waiting a bit longer to register their count.

To see the queuing effect watch stocks. A few months back I posted the Huffman graph of the SP500 over a ten year period.  The period was a stable trend up with two major down turns and recoveries.  The Huffman tree shows the two glitches as an unbalanced tree, not all price settings had equal probability.  Ex post, the market maker designing the queues for this market would have those traders with large, rare trades having to go an extra step in the queue.  But those traders with the small, more frequent trades get two fewer steps in the queue.  The market maker, ex post, performed a trick of relativity, he gave those more frequent trades an extra degree of symmetry, their job job is to hang around the stock market store wandering the shelves, waiting to hedge the longer term, riskier trader, keep him/her backed up in line.

The queue is maintained by counts, counting the queue size, but  it appears as distance, more count the longer the distance from start to finish.  That is us, in our heads, using the convenience of Newton's grammar, ex post. Complexity seems like a longer distance traveled, go ask the traveling salesman.
