I have to admit I'm also quite confused. How does the hand-over of entities between shards work? Surely the shards must reach a consensus about who own each entity... but wouldn't this be too slow for a game loop?

Last time I looked there was a set of coordinating processes that deal with this problem of not just which entity is where but spinning up new instances to run the simulation. It occurs asynchronously to the game state being updated.
