I spotted the hole in the argument, so to speak.

    quantum cryptography.  Given that quantum uncertainty affects
    temporal precision, a uniform two-week scale may serve as a
    stabilization factor in quantum timekeeping mechanisms, reducing the
    need for complex error correction in time-dependent quantum
    operations.  Further research is required to determine whether
    quantum entanglement can reliably synchronize multiple two-week
    cycles across distant computing nodes.  However, quantum computing
    implementations must not employ multiple instances of TWP within a
    scaling variable, as this may introduce temporal feedback
    instabilities and lead to accidental spontaneous wormhole creation,
    an outcome that is outside the scope of this document.

If accidental spontaneous wormhole creation isn't a security concern, I 
don't know what is.  Damn, it seemed such a nice idea.
