# kaal:claim:4900878-032

**Claim.** Because the blockchain is a distributed ledger existing simultaneously across all nodes, physical space is effectively eliminated within the network, and a triggered smart contract executes its code across the entire network instantaneously without regard to where wallets or keys are located.

**Type.** mechanism  **Support.** asserted

**Holds when.**

- distributed ledgers replicated across all network nodes

**Source quote.**

> This distributed nature effectively eliminates the concept of physical space within the network.
