In a previous paper, a framework for the physical description of physical processes at the quantum level based on dislocations in the spacetime continuum within STCED (Spacetime Continuum Elastodynamics) was proposed and it was postulated that the spacetime continuum has a granularity characterized by a length b 0 corresponding to the smallest elementary Burgers dislocation vector possible. Based on the identification of screw dislocations in the spacetime continuum with photons, the relation

... tween the Burgers constant b 0 and Planck's constant h is determined. Planck's constant is expressed in terms of the spacetime continuum constants. The calculated value of b 0 is found to be equivalent to the Planck length within the approximations of the derivation. Numerical values of the spacetime constants ¯ κ 0 , ¯ µ 0 and ¯ ρ 0 are derived. A consistent set of the spacetime constants is proposed based on the Burgers spacetime dislocation constant b 0 being equivalent to the Planck length ℓ P .
