Physical interactions are local. Forces are particle exchanges. For example, masses exchange gravitons to affect each other. Force fields change space and so affect particle motions. Physical interactions do not allow action at distance, except for quantum-mechanical entanglement. Two particles that have interacted have a joint wavefunction, made of superposition of the two particle wavefunctions. Because particle waves are infinite, the joint wavefunction is infinite. The two particles have quantum-mechanical entanglement over all space. Consciousness has experiences at distant places, with no interceding events. Perhaps, consciousness entangles everything over all space {quantum mechanics entanglement and non-locality}.
non-locality
In quantum mechanics, observation at one location can appear to immediately affect another observation at a distant location. Though physical waves send information at finite speed, quantum-mechanical waves collapse everywhere at once. Perhaps, mind involves non-locality. Consciousness links separate space points, and sense system and sensation, and so is non-local.
However, brain processing does not use waves, entanglement does not include knowing, and any entanglement in brain collapses in less than a microsecond.
