Disordered locality

Smolin reports in his review on quantum theories of gravity, that when one considers discrete ways to connect points through edges; a smooth spacetime emerges. Nevertheless there is redundancy. More than one object corresponds to a given volume say. This can be described as "disordered locality".

Locally there may be room for creation, but globally the object seems fixed. Neat idea. Maybe this is the origin of Quantum Mechanics.
