23. A detailed discussion of how the constraints are worked out in the consistent discretization scheme for BF theory is presented in Ref. [3]. Because of the simplicity of the theory, both diffeomorphism and Hamiltonian constraints are preserved exactly without determining Lagrange multipliers. Therefore the constraint to be imposed on the states are Gauss' law and F{2 = 0, the latter encompassing both spatial diffeomorphisms and the Hamiltonian constraint.
