We investigate the possibility that the quantum theory of gravity could beconstructed discretely using algebraic methods. The algebraic tools are similarto ones used in constructing topological quantum field theories.The algebraictools are related to ideas about the reinterpretation of quantum mechanics in ageneral relativistic context.Comment: To appear in special issue of JMP.
