If spacetime is a cubic lattice
If spacetime is a cubic lattice shouldn't the speed of light be faster if the photons travel along diagonals of the cubes? It's a longer distance along the diagonals by a factor of sqrt(3).
A lattice structure is proposed to be a body-centered cubic (bcc) lattice, similar to a formation commonly seen in molecules.
Whatever gave you the idea that space-time is a cubic lattice?
By definition a vacuum cannot have a structure
These inertial states are at higher potential than the ground state at C.
The speed of light is the ground state reference of the universe.
It is like sea level or C-level, for the universe.
If we took photons and increased their frequency to gamma and beyond, eventually the photons will split into matter and antimatter pairs.
Matter and antimatter is at the upper potential of energy and photons.
The discontinuity at C means that space-time becomes discontinuous at C.
If we use the speed of light as the ground state from the POV of a relative reference choice, so many things and mysteries are easier to explain.

anti-matter acts as a catalyst,
All photons should be red shifted to infinite wavelength at the speed of light, but they are not, because photons have two connected, yet separated properties; floor and ceiling.
