I'm glad to read this. I thought of a similar system for a space game involving "beacons" and "quantum entanglement." In a space game, one could have billions of procedurally generated locations, so exploration could become an ongoing industry. (And I have a clever user-generated content mechanism for why people would care about exploring countless locations.)
