Solana wants to build a giant synchronous fine-state machine for everything

Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko posted on social media that Vitalik Buterin is absolutely right, go build a lot of asynchronous environments. Two cool problems I want to solve are:
A) Build a giant synchronous fine-state machine for everything.
B) Synchronize all significant bits of the fine-state machine as quickly as physical conditions permit.
If a tuna boat in Alaska sinks, affecting tuna prices in New York and Tokyo, then the news must reach these markets. I hope that a concurrent Solana block producer in Alaska has transmitted the price impact of this news on all markets in Solana's global fine-state machine.
Therefore, by the time this news reached New York and Tokyo, the market in the global fine-state machine had changed. There should be no arbitrage between the global synchronous fine-state machine and all asynchronous systems, no matter how fast they are.
How much value will this create for the world? Who knows? But it can all be done with open source software and open protocols that run on permissionless commodity hardware that requires only a 10gbps link. So it will be built anyway.
