In the case of ‘discretization’ or ‘deconstruction’ the higher dimensional approach has been useful only ‘after the fact’. Unlike for DGP, in massive gravity the extra dimension is purely used as a mathematical tool and the formulation of the theory was first performed in four dimensions. In this case massive gravity is not derived per se from the higher-dimensional picture but rather one can see how the structure of general relativity in higher dimensions is tied to that of the mass term.
