Abstract

As toy models for space–time at the Planck scale, we consider examples of fermion systems in discrete space–time which are composed of one or two particles defined on two up to nine space–time points. We study the self-organization of the particles as described by a variational principle both analytically and numerically. We find an effect of spontaneous symmetry breaking which leads to the emergence of a discrete causal structure.
