Some of those logical limitations come from physical properties, like separation in time or space, right? For example systems *not* separated by time or space would not be subject to the CAP Theorem, right? Is the CAP Theorem therefore not a physical limit?

Hm. CAP theorem:

  1. I vaguely remember reading something about the conjecture back in the day; but I know nothing about it.
  2. I hadn't heard it had been proven; haven't read the proof; and almost certainly wouldn't understand it if I did.
  3. It appears that the proof is contentious; but when the one refutation I started to read started getting into Einsteinian relativity; I stopped reading.

My "instant reaction" to CAP theorem is: If I can inject enough delays into the system; I can guarantee consistency. That may be completely undesirable for use; but it makes the limitations logical not physical, at least whilst we're dealing with earthbound distances and real-world system speeds.

Beyond that, I have no opinion; nor interest.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
