Aren't you already talking about SimLife[tm] here? In RealLife[tm] almost 
everything is something smooth and integrable and discretization is 
introduced deliberately to allow a numerical calculation. So your idea of 
looking at the characteristics of the underlying physical processes to find a 
suitable form of discretization sounds straightforward and is the way to go, 
I believe.  

But, oh well, just one more academic playing around with some thoughts which 
won't get realized due to the usual reasons ...
