The holographic principle suggests that the low energy effective field theory of gravity, as used to describe perturbative quantum fields about some background has far too many states. It is then natural that any quantum error correcting code with such a quantum field theory as the code subspace is not isometric. We discuss how this framework can naturally arise in an algebraic QFT treatment of a family of CFT with a large-$N$ limit described by the single trace sector. We show that an isometric code can be recovered in the $N \rightarrow \infty$ limit when acting on fixed states in the code Hilbert space. Asymptotically isometric codes come equipped with the notion of simple operators and nets of causal wedges. While the causal wedges are additive, they need not satisfy Haag duality, thus leading to the possibility of non-trivial entanglement wedge reconstructions. Codes with complementary recovery are defined as having extensions to Haag dual nets, where entanglement wedges are well defined for all causal boundary regions. We prove an asymptotic version of the information disturbance trade-off theorem and use this to show that boundary theory causality is maintained by net extensions. We give a characterization of the existence of an entanglement wedge extension via the asymptotic equality of bulk and boundary relative entropy or modular flow. While these codes are asymptotically exact, at fixed $N$ they can have large errors on states that do not survive the large-$N$ limit. This allows us to fix well known issues that arise when modeling gravity as an exact codes, while maintaining the nice features expected of gravity, including, among other things, the emergence of non-trivial von Neumann algebras of various types.
