Part of problem may be sheer complexity of Asynchronous State Machines (ASM). Basic function of a clock in any state machine is to limit the state transition space. For anything other than a rather simplistic systems (few states), run away state transitions occurs in ASM. Nature seems to have solved this problem with analog systems on a macro level. On a quantum level, what may possibly look like an ASM, is so bizarre (like tunnel diodes) that anything exists at all.
At current level of understanding, this may be an intractable problem.
