Hi Richard,
This description assumes an embedding space-time that is separable
from the monads "in" it. One alternative is to work with an abstract
model of (closed under mutual inclusion) totally disconnected compact
spaces where the individual components of the space are the images that
a set of "mutually reflecting" monads have. This allows us to use
Greene's r -> 1/r duality and the Stone duality as well. ;-)

Yes Stephan,
The 10^500 possible windings of flux constraining the compactified
dimensions
are sufficient to populate some 10^120 universes with every monad
unique or distinct.
The CYMs are known to be discrete
and since the hyperfine constant varies across the universe
it is likely that the monads are distinct.
That this all comes from a subspace of ennumerable particles
to my mind satisfies Occum's Razor.

Hi Jason,
Nothing "in the theory" suggests that landscapes are a
problem! But that is kinda my point, we have to use meta-theories
of one sort or another to evaluate theories. Occam's Razor is a
nice example... My point is that explanations should be hard to
vary and get the result that one needs to "match the data" or else
it is not an explanation at all. One can get anything they want
with a theory that has landscapes. Look!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory_landscape
"The string theory landscape or anthropic landscape refers to the
large number of possible false vacua in string theory. The
"landscape" includes so many possible configurations that some
physicists think that the known laws of physics, the standard
model and general relativity with a positive cosmological
constant, occur in at least one of them. The anthropic landscape
refers to the collection of those portions of the landscape that
are suitable for supporting human life, an application of the
anthropic principle that selects a subset of the theoretically
possible configurations.
In string theory the number of false vacua is commonly quoted as
10500. The large number of possibilities arises from different
choices of Calabi-Yau manifolds and different values of
generalized magnetic fluxes over different homology cycles. If one
assumes that there is no structure in the space of vacua, the
problem of finding one with a sufficiently small cosmological
constant is NP complete, being a version of the subset sum problem."
Boom, there it is! The computation problem!

What in the theory suggests that landscapes are a problem? Is
there any evidence in any theory that only one possible set of
physical laws has to pervade all of existence, or is this just an
unsupported preconception/hope of physicists who've spent a big
chunk of their lives looking for a unique theory?
To me, the effort of finding some mathematical explanation for
why only one set of physical law can be is a lot like the
Copenhagen theory's attempt to rescue a single history, despite
that nothing in the theory or the math would suggest as much.

Stephan,
I solved the landscape problem by assuming that each monad
was distinct
consistent with the astronomical observations that the
hyperfine constant
varied monotonically across the universe.

Good! Now to see if there any any other possible
explanations that do not have the landscape problem...

Hi Richard,
Could you link some sources on this?

Hi guys,
Neither CYM's nor strings physically

Anything in equation form is itself
nonphysical, although the equations
might describe something physical.
The equations of string theory describe
strings. So how does it follow that strings
aren't real. That's like saying a sentence
that describes my house shows that my house
isn't real.
I agree that string theory (or any other
theory) is a model of reality and not reality
itself. But, if it's correct, it refers to
reality or at least some part of reality -
like, "My house is green." refers to a part of
reality, but "My house is blue." does not.

When and if string theory makes a
prediction that is then found to have a
physical demonstration we might be more
confident that it is useful as a physics theory
and not just an exercise in beautiful advanced
mathematics. The LHC is looking for such
evidence...
For example, if I live at 23 Main street, 23
Main Street is not my house,
it is my address.
