Abstract
We discuss quantum insights due to the null-strut formalism. These insights deal primarily with two topics: the formalism of a theory of canonical simplicial quantum gravity based on the geometrodynamic duality of null-strut calculus, and the natural implementation of spinors and spin networks in null-strut calculus.
