  We study the utility of chains defined on causal sets in estimating continuum
properties like the curvature, the proper time and the spacetime dimension
through a numerical analysis. In particular, we show that in $\text{dS}_2$ and
$\text{FLRW}_3$ spacetimes the formalism of arXiv:1212.0631 with slight
modifications gives the right continuum properties. We also discuss a possible
test of manifoldlikeness using this formalism by considering two models of
non-manifoldlike causal sets. This is a part of a broader idea of the
geometrical reconstruction of continuum properties given a discrete sub
structure, in this case the causal set.
