In such a space, several groups of lattices can be distinguished with a certain property. Each group is determined by the number of lattices it comprises, forming the characterizing numbers of the space. Using the specific properties of a multidirectional discrete space, it is shown that some of the characterizing numbers can be associated with a physical constant. The fine structure constant appears to be equal to the ratio of two of these numbers, which offers the possibility of calculating the series of smallest numerical values of these numbers. With these values, a reasoned estimate can be made of the upper limit of the smallest distance of the discrete space of approximately the Planck length.展开更多

Because of the limited size of the granules, the motion of an endlessly extended particle field must to be split into an inner and an outer part. The inner part moves gradually in a point particle-like fashion, the outer is moving step-wise in a wave-like manner. This dual behaviour is reminiscent of the particle-wave duality. Field granulation can be caused by deviations of the structure of the lattice at the boundaries of the granule, causing some axes of the granule to be tilted. The granules exhibit relativistic effects, inter alia, caused by the universality of the coordination number of the lattice.展开更多
