> If all you can do is transitions, you don't know upon transitioning if you still have a keyboard you are typing on or not. This also means that if you want to be able to function somehow in this world, then after each transition, you'd have to reassess all properties of all interesting aspects of the world just to make sure they are still there.

You're assuming that at every timestep all transitions are equally valid or equally likely. That's not a given, you can and of course should carefully model which transitions your system allows or not. In real life this model is Schrödinger's equation, as best as we know it. In your information system it can be whatever you design it to be.
