  Referring to a conception put forward by Stuart Kauffman in his
"Investigations", it is shown how the onset of classicity can be visualized in
terms of an emergent process originating in entangled ensemble states of
knotted spin networks. The latter exhibit a suitable autocatalytic behaviour
effectively producing knots by knots acting upon other knots. In particular, a
quantum computational structure can be described underlying spin networks such
that most conditions for a partial ordering are not more valid for the latter.
A concep- tual argument is given then indicating that on a fundamental level,
physics is non-local and a-temporal, and hence does not admit of the concept of
causality. Hence, modelling the emergence of classicity in terms of a
percolating web of coherence eventually decohering (in using a cellular
automata architecture) does not imply the necessity of visualizing histories of
directed percolation as causal sets. These aspects are compatible though with
the recent concept of spin foams which do not actually imply distinguished
directions of time flow on the micro-level.
