Abstract
Following recent assumptions to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity, the structure of spacetime is suppose to be a consequence of the relations among some fundamental objects, and its concept can be formulated without the reference to the intuition. As physical consequences the continuous laws should be translated in to difference equations and the lattice field theories should be interpreted as a realistic model.
