dc.description.abstract	A 2d model of causal set quantum gravity is constructed using a continuum-inspired dynamics. Apart from a restriction to causal set dimension and topology, the model is fully dynamical and includes all relevant 2d conformally flat degrees of freedom. Surprisingly, in the large N limit the partition function is dominated by causal sets that resemble 2d Minkowski spacetime. Thus, in this model the "entropy problem" of causal set theory is overcome and a sensible low energy limit is obtained.	en
