Abstract: We study the utility of chains defined on causal sets in estimating continuum properties like the curvature, the proper time and the spacetime dimension through a numerical analysis. In particular, we show that in $ext{dS}_2$ and $ext{FLRW}_3$ spacetimes the formalism of arXiv:1212.0631 with slight modifications gives the right continuum properties. We also discuss a possible test of manifoldlikeness using this formalism by considering two models of non-manifoldlike causal sets. This is a part of a broader idea of the geometrical reconstruction of continuum properties given a discrete sub structure, in this case the causal set.
