I am trying to gain a better understanding of the implications causal set theory has for an organism’s experience of the environment. I am a psychologist by trade, so I want to be sure that I am accurately applying the principles of this theory. Many researchers in psychology have suggested that events at the scale of organisms and environments have a nested spatio-temporal structure. For example, changing a channel is nested within watching television which is nested within spending the afternoon at home…and so forth. Would it violate any of the assumptions of causal set theory to suggest that perceiving events at varying spacetime scales is akin to an organism perceptually coupling to varying causet element grains? Courser grained elements represent greater spacetime events and finer grained represent smaller spacetime events.
