With the present paper I maintain that the group field theory (GFT) approach to quantum gravity can help us clarify and distinguish the problems of spacetime emergence from the questions about the nature of the quanta of space. I will show that the use of approximation methods can suggest a form of indifference between scales (or phases) and that such an indifference allows us to black-box questions about the nature of the ontology of the fundamental levels of the theory.

群场论：将时空涌现与非时空实体本体解耦

在本文中，我认为量子引力的群场论（GFT）方法可以帮助我们澄清和区分时空涌现问题和空间量子本质问题。我将证明，近似方法的使用可以暗示尺度（或阶段）之间的某种形式的无关紧要，并且这种无关紧要使我们能够对有关理论基本层次的本体论本质的问题进行黑箱处理。
