The causal set approach <strong>to</strong> <strong>Quantum</strong> <strong>Gravity</strong> 423approximation exists. Nonetheless, you might imagine extending the definitionof the continuum approximation <strong>to</strong> some fractals, by carrying outsprinklings of these structures, and then ask how the new dimension estima<strong>to</strong>rscompare <strong>to</strong> the more standard estima<strong>to</strong>rs of Hausdorff and Lebesque.It seems plausible that the causal set estima<strong>to</strong>rs we have would be moresimilar <strong>to</strong> the measure theoretic dimensions like the Hausdorff or Minkowski–Bouligand dimension (since the Lebesque measure is, I think, invariant underhomeomorphisms, which seems at odds with scale-dependent dimension estima<strong>to</strong>rs),but this is not known (a question that is under investigation by DavidMeyer).
