The spinorial Lorentz group for (½, 0)⊕(0, ½) is SL(2, C). This being SL(2, C) =SL(2, R)×SL(2, R) there is a modular subgroup to SL(2, R) of linear fractional transformations SL(2, Z) ⊂ SL(2, R). This defines a set of equivalent orbits or paths. This is a discrete Lorentz symmetry for gauge or coordinate condition equivalent moduli. It is not commonly thought this is what spacetime is near the Planck scale, I suppose unless you are an LQG maven. It is connected with orbits on strings, with Teichmuller spaces of 6g - 6 dimensions and so forth.
