1. A method, comprising:
performing, by one or more computing devices that implement a plurality of nodes for a simulation, wherein individual nodes of the plurality of nodes are assigned a key that uniquely identifies a volume of space of the simulation managed by the individual nodes:
determine, by a particular node of the plurality of nodes, that a portion of the volume of space is to be assigned to a new node, wherein authority of entities located within the portion of the volume of space is to be transferred from the particular node to the new node;
causing, by the particular node, the new node to be allocated, wherein a new key is assigned to the new node that uniquely identifies the portion of the volume of space;
sending, from the new node to the particular node, a request for authoritative state of the entities located within the portion of the volume of space;
in response to the request, sending, from the particular node to the new node, the authoritative state of the entities located within the portion of the volume of space; and
assuming, by the new node, authority of the entities located within the portion of the volume of space, wherein the particular node retains authority of other entities within a remaining portion of the volume of space.
