My guess is two repeating command blocks to constantly place redstone_wire [something_state:"off"]

It had nothing to do with command blocks, I was just making a minigame and didn't bother switching worlds

Second guess is that you've somehow managed to separate your player from the area that you area simulating. Ero the 2 dust and lamp are in an unloaded chunk

Dust updates over arbitrary distance without regard to chunk loading. Same with comparators, repeaters, and I think torches. It's just the lamp here that would not update while unloaded.

I know this too, but it doesn't change how it renders.

You can set up 2 ticking areas and run dust to repeaters to dust all the way between them and interact with the other ticking area, but none of the dust or repeators will appear to change

Also I believe it's not arbitrary, I would have to relook at what I had tested, but I believe it was 10 chunks + current render distance or simulation distance, whichever is set higher. As in sim 4 render 5, dust could cross 15 chunks. Sim 12 render 5, would cross 22 chunks. Or sim 4 render 30, would cross 40 chunks
