Abstract: A simple model of heat conduction is constructed. A microscopic cutoff is introduced under which the temperature cannot be defined. The cutoff dependence of the thermal conductivity coefficients is studied. It is shown that sensible continuum limits can be constructed yielding either the standard heat conduction equation or the telegraphist equation with a finite speed of thermal pulses.
