We set up a correspondence from quantum network dynamics to quantum field theory on c space-time. A 4-dimensional vacuum q network is represented by a Clifford element \Psi_0\in C_N, the Clifford algebra on the the N\sim Ømega /\tau^4 space-time points of an experimental region Ømega\/. This aligns QND groups with QFT groups. It provides manifold operators x^\mu, \partial_\mu used to define the local GL_4 and the global diffeomorphism group in QND terms. We contract the huge QND Clifford algebra C_N to the small Dirac-Clifford algebra C_4 at one point of QFT by tracing over other points. The gravitational metric tensors at a point form the quotient space GL_4/SO_4(1,3).
