Loops of Vibrating Strings,...and Systemic Sustainability

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calabi%E2%80%93Yau_manifold


“String theory is an attempt at a deeper description of nature by thinking of an elementary particle not as a little point but as a little loop of vibrating string.” By Edward Witten (on http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/view-witten.html)


Physics’ large theories are, all of them, built from conjectural assumptions/postulates, because of that, criteria of correction must accompany the growth of the theory in proportion to the empirical evidence that allows the growth of theory itself, in terms of rigor of approximation between the abstract “planes/territories” and that which is the concrete reality of the things in survival interface.

String theory is a theory in adaptive growth and development, we all know that. The statement of Edward Witten, quoted above, has, certainly, a mathematical/physical interpretation, but..., we do not know if Edward Witten has noticed..., it is also much more: what we call “localities” are sustained by: little loops of vibrating strings.

In systemic terms, the looping of vibrating strings is tremendously compatible with the dynamics of sustainability of the topoi, working from the original sense of the term topos: irreducible place of the body, of each body. Not a place for the body, but the place of the body.
