  The continuum and semiclassical limits of isotropic, spatially flat loop
quantum cosmology are discussed, with an emphasis on the role played by the
Barbero-Immirzi parameter \gamma in controlling space-time discreteness. In
this way, standard quantum cosmology is shown to be the simultaneous limit
\gamma \to 0, j \to \infty of loop quantum cosmology. Here, j is a label of the
volume eigenvalues, and the simultaneous limit is technically the same as the
classical limit \hbar \to 0, l \to \infty of angular momentum in quantum
mechanics. Possible lessons for semiclassical states at the dynamical level in
the full theory of quantum geometry are mentioned.
