Another way to see both form of the Leibniz rule is in the graphical set
theory, where you represent the sets by circle
f(0)*g(0), f(1)*g(1), f(2)*g(2), ... , f(N-1)*g(N-1)].
and to apply a function f on a function g then becomes:
f(g) = [f(g(0)), f(g(1)), f(g(2)), ... , f(g(N-1))].
Exercise: Show that the extended Leibniz rule in the discrete
mathematics: D(f*g) = f*D(g) + D(f)*g + D(f)*D(g), is
S-1, so D(x(n)) = x(n+1) - x(n).
What do you think, is this a good starting point for handling the
mathematics of the discrete space-time?
