Since this grows exponentially, won’t it eventually grow to cover every possible state?
Yes. The process is observable as entropy. And the extremum (equalization of most or all of configuration space) is the conjectured heat-death of the universe.
I agree that equalization of configuration space is the heat death of the universe. I’m not sure, given this, that there won’t be significant interaction until most of the decay has occurred.
