Understand
We show how the Minkowskian space-time emerges from a topologically homogeneous causal network, presenting a simple analytical derivation of the Lorentz transformations, with metric as pure event-counting.
- The derivation holds generally for d=1 space dimension, however, it can be extended to d>1 for special causal networks.
