It seems to me that the Meta Model requires that all causal mechanisms are the result of physical collisions. I'm not sure how to express this but the following sweeping statement might do it:
All properties of matter are the result of collisions between discrete particles.
This seems then to require also a definition of discrete particles:
Two or more bodies compose a discrete particle when their combined momentum can be transferred to a different body in a single collision.
Two corollaries then define a Principle of Infinite Scale:
All discrete particles are composed of other discrete particles. All discrete particles can combine to form new discrete particles.
Are these true statements, and do they fairly represent fundamental principles of the Meta Model?
Does the Principle of Infinite Scale also require some statement about space and time? I do not think so but I'm not sure.

These statements and the corollaries you draw seem valid to me.

Space, time, and scale are independent dimensions. But similar things can be said of all of them. For example:
All time intervals are composed of shorter time intervals. All time intervals can combine to form longer time intervals. -|Tom|- Uremia erythroplasia heparinoid rheostat ethics; apyrexial stepless. Shingles lunch constipate, cummin. Asset proleukemia recoiler symport.
