TL;DR
Can Minkowski have geometry of Mesh
I understand Minkowski is empty space with no matter. Is there a possibility to consider Minkowski as a multi dimensional grid in the form of a perpendicular 3 dimensional matrix for further study on other spaces. For example to have a matrix mesh to map other solutions onto. I claim ignorance of the applicational mathematics. I am just interpreting what I read

No stress-energy, meaning no matter, energy, radiation, nothing.

I don't understand what this means.
