I said I'd do a reference on Leonardo Peusner's wild paper
getting rid of two valued logic....here it is:
L. PEUSNER: (1988) Sace-time "bonds", electromagnetism and graphs,
Discrete Applied Mathematics 19:305-15.

Abstract

By asssuming relational properties of local, stratified space-time
measurements and using simple graph symmetries, the laws of electromagnetics
follow in their relativistic, four-dimensional form without invoking lorentz
transformations. This suggests that the topological compactification of
pregeometric space-time points may be achieved through the laws of
electromagnetism. The results are in agreement with those obtained
using lorentz transformations, spinors and forms.

at the end:
"An immediate-though speculative-suggestion is that the electromagnetic field
is the physical entity which keeps space and time coordinates both bonded and
distinct. In fact, space-time and the electromagnetic field are, in this
view, indistinguishable."
