The way I think about it is as the ultimate decoupling between producer and consumer. Bundling producer and consumer together into one unit spatially couples them. But even if the producer runs as a separate service that waits for requests from the consumer the interaction is still temporally coupled. By having the producer gradually update the responses to all possible queries to a tuple space, completely on its own schedule, there is not even temporal coupling between it and the consumer.
