Abstract
We combine the assumption of environmental decoherence, as the mechani sm generating the classical (i.e. no quantum interferences) nature of spacetime, with the limit on its other classical feature, point-like c ontinuity, namely Planck length. As a result, quantum extended objects with masses larger than the Planck mass have to derive their quantum behaviour from long-range correlations; objects with masses smaller th an the Planck mass cannot display classical behaviour.
