If that proves to be true (whatever "true" exactly means),
it will relate to our objective quite significantly.

Namely, it will mean that our Universe is like a 3(or more)-D
cellular automaton (just like a giant version of Conway's game "Life"),
which in turn will mean that FTL is really impossible 
(and explain why - you cannot shift bits in your computer
faster than one tick of your master clock...).

Moreover, then all will have to go digital... ;-))

[L. Parker]  Not only does this threaten to replace large chunks of quantum theory but also Relativity, it means there is at least one fixed Frame of Reference, what does that do to relativity theory?
