  In the following we undertake to describe how macroscopic space-time (or
rather, a microscopic protoform of it) is supposed to emerge as a
superstructure of a web of lumps in a stochastic discrete network structure. As
in preceding work (mentioned below), our analysis is based on the working
philosophy that both physics and the corresponding mathematics have to be
genuinely discrete on the primordial (Planck scale) level. This strategy is
concretely implemented in the form of \tit{cellular networks} and \tit{random
graphs}. One of our main themes is the development of the concept of
\tit{physical (proto)points} or \tit{lumps} as densely entangled subcomplexes
of the network and their respective web, establishing something like
\tit{(proto)causality}. It may perhaps be said that certain parts of our
programme are realisations of some early ideas of Menger and more recent ones
sketched by Smolin a couple of years ago. We briefly indicate how this
\tit{two-story-concept} of \tit{quantum} space-time can be used to encode the
(at least in our view) existing non-local aspects of quantum theory without
violating macroscopic space-time causality.
