The String Theory is perhaps the The Glass Bead Game by Hermann Hesse?

You sent me into a vortex of philosophical musing with that conjecture, thus I am pinging the philosopher-Freepers for their input. Thank you so much for the challenge!

As for me, string theory is only an alternative geometric for space/time and therefore corporeals, cosmology, etc. - the great meaning is in the universals, an interpretation that everything is a mathematical structure which exists apart from space/time dimensionality (the Max Tegmark Level IV universe, radical mathematical Platonism).

From that perspective, everything physical (and perhaps non-physical as well) - including the geometry and string vibration, fields, waves, particles, properties, organisms, etc. - actually exists in elegant simplicity which (at this time) is beyond our grasp from within a 4D (visual, mental limitation).
