This book evaluates and suggests potentially critical improvements
to causal set theory, one of the best-motivated approaches to the
outstanding problems of fundamental physics. Spacetime structure is
of central importance to physics beyond general relativity and the
standard model. The causal metric hypothesis treats causal
relations as the basis of this structure. The book develops the
consequences of this hypothesis under the assumption of a
fundamental scale, with smooth spacetime geometry viewed as
emergent. This approach resembles causal set theory, but differs in
important ways; for example, the relative viewpoint, emphasizing
relations between pairs of events, and relationships between pairs
of histories, is central. The book culminates in a dynamical law
for quantum spacetime, derived via generalized path summation.
