You are reasoning about measurement solely from the internal perspective of time, where as Bitcoin provides the external perspective of time in quantized steps. A true measurement MUST solve the double spend problem for classical information to even have meaning; which can only be solved in quantized blocks of time.

We quite literally do not live inside of Bitcoin blocks; meaning we have the view of totality from Genesis to present; all states of time preserved in binary. This is literally what physicists want for our universe to understand measurement. You can only reason outside a boundary when you have a finite bounded totality inside. Ignorance is irreducibility when perceived from the opposite boundaries of time. Are blocks irreducible if you are a utxo with zero knowledge of what the exterior of the system actually is?

Deterministic map exterior to the temporal substrate produces collapse to the interior perspective within said substrate. You live within blocks of time, not outside of them. The only difference is perspective and direction.

Difficulty is a numeric logic gate that produces the binary/boundary for time to have meaning.
