Some features of standard quantum mechanics, presented in a sum-over-histories formulation, are reviewed, and their consequences for such theories are discussed. It is argued that, if the individual histories of a theory give bad approximations to macroscopic continuum properties in some frames, then it is inevitable that the theory violates Lorentz symmetry.15 pages, 1 figure, laTeXGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyMacroscopic observables and Lorentz violation in discrete quantum gravitytext
