  Motivated by properties of tensor networks, we conjecture that an arbitrary
gravitating region $a$ can be assigned a generalized entanglement wedge
$E\supset a$, such that quasi-local operators in $E$ have a holographic
representation in the full algebra generated by quasi-local operators in $a$.
The universe need not be asymptotically flat or AdS, and $a$ need not be
asymptotic or weakly gravitating. On a static Cauchy surface $\Sigma$, we
propose that $E$ is the superset of $a$ that minimizes the generalized entropy.
We prove that $E$ satisfies a no-cloning theorem and appropriate forms of
strong subadditivity and nesting. If $a$ lies near a portion $A$ of the
conformal boundary of AdS, our proposal reduces to the Quantum Minimal Surface
prescription applied to $A$. We also discuss possible covariant extensions of
this proposal, although none prove completely satisfactory. Our results are
consistent with the conjecture that information in $E$ that is spacelike to $a$
in the semiclassical description can nevertheless be recovered from $a$, by
microscopic operators that break that description. We thus propose that $E$
quantifies the range of holographic encoding, an important nonlocal feature of
quantum gravity, in general spacetimes.
