Abstract: We construct three analoga of Gromov-Hausdorff space for Lorentzian distances and show a Gromov precompactness result for one of them. After calculating the Dushnik-Miller dimension of Minkowski spaces (of manifold dimension larger than 2) to be countable infinity, we define a dimension for ordered sets recovering the correct manifold dimension, obtain an obstruction for existence of injective monotonous maps between Lorentzian length spaces, induce functorial metrics on Cauchy subsets that in the spacetime case coincide with the Riemannian ones, prove existence of anti-Lipschitz Cauchy functions with a given Cauchy zero locus (an important ingredient for the Sormani-Vega null distance), relate respective Hausdorff dimensions and consider collapse phenomena in this context.
