Classical Fields and the Quantum Concept
de Souza,M Manoelito +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a critical review of the Faraday-Maxwell concept of classical field and its quantization process is presented, with hindsight knowledge of the essentially quantum character of the interactions, using a naive classical model of field, based on exchange of classical massless particles.

Discrete fields on the lightcone
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a classical field theory based on a concept of extended causality that mimics the causality of a point-particle Classical Mechanics by imposing constraints that are equivalent to a particle initial position and velocity.

Gravity and Antigravity with Discrete Interactions: Alternatives I and II
de Souza,M Manoelito +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss classical gravity as an effective continuous first-order approximation of a discrete interaction, and show that a discrete picture of the world (of matter and of its interactions) produces, as an approximation, the standard continuous picture and more.

Discrete scalar field and general relativity
de Souza,M Manoelito +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the physical meaning, properties and consequences of a discrete scalar field and the limits for the validity of a mathematical description of fundamental physics in terms of continuum fields are a natural outcome of discrete fields with discrete interactions.

Discrete fields, general relativity, other possible implications and experimental evidences
de Souza,M Manoelito +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the physical meaning, properties and consequences of a discrete scalar field and show that the existence of a critical point is equivalent to the introduction of an effective acceleration scale which may put Milgrom's MOND on a more solid physical basis.
