Causal spin foams and the ontology of spacetime

TL;DR

This paper explores modern relational theories of spacetime, proposing a new theoretical model aligned with Leibniz's ontology, and discusses its physical applications and ontological implications.

Contribution

It introduces a novel theoretical model of spacetime based on relational principles and analyzes its ontological interpretation and physical applications.

Findings

Proposes a new relational model of spacetime

Provides an ontological interpretation of the model

Discusses physical applications of the theory

Abstract

We present some modern theories on the structure of spacetime that can be classified as relational theories in the direction of Leibniz's ontology. In order to analyze the nature of spacetime we consider three levels of knowledge -observational, theoretical and ontological- to which the different models can be adscribed. Following similar approach to these models mentioned at the first sections, we present our theoretical model of the structure of spacetime, some physical applications, and the ontological interpretation of the model.
