Abstract.Macroscopic spacetime (or its underlying mesoscopic or microscopic substratum) has been shown to emerge from a more fundamental concept, a cellular network. A NetLogo model of spacetime that self-organizes from such a microscopic cellular network is described here. This will shed new light on understanding spacetime at the Planck scale.
