Sure, it means that one can't construct a brain by having signals go infinitely fast, the local means that to get from somewhere to somewhere else one has to go through intermediary space. It was a caveat I introduced because I thought it might be needed, but it really wasn't. My main point is that I don't think a person could be infinitely tortured by being frozen in torture, which leads to the interesting point that people shouldn't be identified with objects in single moments of time, such as bodies, but with their bodies/experience going through time.
