Abstract

We present some modern theories on the structure of spacetime that can be classified as relational theories in the direction of Leibniz's ontology. In order to analyze the nature of spacetime we consider three levels of knowledge -observational, theoretical and ontological- to which the different models can be adscribed. Following similar approach to these models mentioned at the first sections, we present our theoretical model of the structure of spacetime, some physical applications, and the ontological interpretation of the model.
