Communication resolution
By Jove, I think I've got it.
I've been researching something called "ansible communication". Quantum physics states that two particles, once intertwined, will always maintain a quantum relationship. This means that communications could be maintained anywhere in the known universe, and perhaps even beyond, by maintaining this ansible linkage. In real time, no less. Ansible communications are expensive, but feasible with Federation-level science.
Now, most ansible theory involves a single pair of interlinked particles. I can do that one better. Rather than a simple serial connection, by creating several particle sets, I can create an entire mass of interlinked particles, giving me a high-bandwidth parallel connection. This should be sufficient for me to perform neural updates from widely separated locations, whatever the distance between the Khan on the Murgatroid or the Khan on the Bastard or the Khan anywhere else. I'm pretty sure that ansible communication is how Starfleet is performing its new "magic holoconference" setup, allowing all the starship captains across a quadrant to meet and discuss plans and policies.
I have to run some holosimulations. Conveniently, we're still at Starbase 668, and I'm sure they'll have some open facilities.
