http://popups.lib.uliege.be/1373-5411/index.php?id=3886 We explore a two-photon model of a digital clock. The model implicates the use of spacetime algebra to describe Minkowski space on large scales, but suggests that its scale independent use in special relativity presupposes reference frames of infinite mass. A close look at the finite-frequency digital clock shows that either classical special relativity or Dirac propagation emerges from the clock depending on how the continuum limit is taken. If one smoothly interpolates the tick sequence the clock remains classical. If one extrapolates the inter-tick behaviour, wave propagation is implicated.
