State theory (time)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Appears to be original research. It's a mere stub written by a single IP author that gives no references and searching on "State theory" doesn't elucidate anything as to its origin either. Modocc (talk) 15:41, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

delete Seems to be nonsense; I couldn't find anything about it in searching. Mangoe (talk) 19:58, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It is simply amazing that this article has been around almost 10 years. There exist various speculative physical theories and approximations which incorporate the notion of discrete time (e.g, quantum spacetime, causal sets, Feynman checkerboard, lattice gauge theory), but I know of none called "State theory" and was unable to find any such in my Google searches. Without reliable sources to verify, this article cannot stand. --Mark viking (talk) 20:41, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Topic overlaps with other articles (add Planck time to the list), and when originally written the second paragraph makes it seem even more like a nonsense article. Agree with Mark viking's reasoning. Chris857 (talk) 21:30, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unlike Time Cube, it looks like this never caught on. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:08, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Contains several errors, and already covered at Temporal finitism and Discrete time and continuous time. -- 101.119.15.254 (talk) 23:19, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
