They include those that are based on emergence from nonrelativistic fluid or solid models (or their expected sub elementary-particle variants).Shyan said:Do your statements include all emergent-gravity/spacetime approaches?(Actually I'm not sure how many approaches exist!)
Emergence from spin foam or strings is a different matter, though I also believe that these are dead ends (or at least conceptual overkills). My bet is on canonical gravity with a suitable choice of the (infinitely many) renormalization constants. There are other nonrenormalizable theories (the Gross-Neveu models) with infinitely many renormalization constants that become renormalizable when not expanded in terms of free fields but in a different way. I expect something similar to happen to canonical gravity. Thus no search for an exotic emergence is needed.
