    I don’t think they are tied, more like they use the same type of tech to do different things.

      I mean tied together in the way that often when the holodeck is messing up the transporters also fail so they can’t just beam people out. I know it’s plot reasons but in universe that engineer should be fired.

        I don’t know. If holodeck tech is constantly manifesting and removing matter from the holodeck I can imagine having an external transporter system trying to resolve stuff in that shifting mess would be quite tricky even with those Heisenberg compensators.
