From the point of view that the charge and mass of an electron is of dynamical origin and quantization of charge in units of e is related to the space-time quantization as developed in an earlier paper, we here show that it is possible to consider that the internal space within the elementary domain of the quantized space-time world is not governed by Lorentz invariance. This helps us to develop a consistent theory of nonlocal fields for extended particles where the infinite mass degeneracy is avoided. Moreover, this ensures the convergence of nonlocal field theories and suggests that massless particles like photons and neutrinos, though they may be taken to be of extended structure, will appear only as point particles in the physical world. In this picture, Lorentz invariance appears to be a consequence of the distribution of matter and energy in the Universe, and this may be taken to be another interpretation of Mach's principle.
