It is anticipated that by most of the salient enigmas of "String Theory" (string is a symbolic misnomer for fundamental concepts of complex forms of oscillations) will be explained in the vernacular.



Count Alfred Korzybski

With help from the Polish Count Alfred Korzybski's "Science and Sanity," (non-Aristotelean logic), the concepts of String Theory and Philogic (Philosophical Logic) were first developed by Brunardot, in the Spring of 1955, when Philip Morrison suggested that Einstein was the only person that would understand.  Einstein died early in the morning, several days later, while Brunardot was driving from Ithaca to Princeton.

Years later, these concepts were misapplied by post modern theoretical physicists as a theory trying to unite the metaphysical forces of academic, theoretical physics, which physics theory is but a quantitative, axiomatic discipline searching in vain for a first postulate.

The Elliptical Constant is the "Rosetta Stone" of a theory that goes beyond quantitative to Philogic (Philosophical Logic) and Oscillation Theory, which with simple geometry and algebra
 — and a bit of reduction — defines the locus of Reality and the ten forms of oscillation (strings) — that define dark energy that manifests as the seminal quantum of space — which is pluperfect reduction that combines the duality of maximal simplicity and maximal complexity.
 

"Seek simplicity; and
....... . . Natural integers."
