I am a computer scientist, I was wondering how General Relavity or motion on EM fields can be modelled using discrete complex networks (ie. graphs) including only local interactions. For example we can model discrete local graph contraction on presence of mass or electric charge, and we can compute minimal paths on the graph to compute trayectories. As motion can be described as minimizing some integrals on the continous model I have 2 questions:
i) Does the continous model assumes that nature or simulation can only be made with non-local computations [of minimal integral paths computed globally] ? ii) If we device some way to locally update minimal distances on the graph using Dijkstra's algorithm, that means that the discrete model is more sound? ii) As one starting point in the graph can have multiple destinations, is this more similar to quamtum mechanics where the unique trayectory is replaced with a quantum amplitude?
