<dt>Description</dt>
<dd>The physical meaning, the properties and the consequences of a discrete scalar field are discussed; limits for the validity of a continuous mathematical description of fundamental physics are a natural outcome of discrete fields with discrete interactions. The discrete scalar field is ultimately the gravitational field of general relativity, necessarily, and there is no place for any other fundamental scalar field, in this context.</dd>
