"At any rate, there is a fundamental asymmetry between the initial states and the final states in mathematical logic that governs all calculations of probabilities that we ever perform in science, and outside science. Some naive "visualizations" of the Universe may look past-future symmetric but the full-fledged reality including all the required structure, including mathematical logic, is surely not past-future symmetric." (quote from Lubos today)
My comment to him if he allows where I read the blogs before I posted today's article:
Lubos,
You are not wrong here but I disagree it is enough. As it happens I am posting on this already this morning regarding space centered ideas. I am not sure about this as an aspect of the concept of time (do I understand string theory reconsiders the concept of tachyons?), but in space where I will try to use other metaphors science or not to make myself clearer (including Western religious models) I will soon post on such reference frames, conservation laws, symmetry in new light as if ideas of inertia as the grounding. It is a matter of a mental picture independent of less general ideas as to how we see the foundations of math and physics and the conservation of "mass".
From what I can read I think you have similar if not the same insight as well some others have here. To ask what strings are made of or if there is something that makes quarks can be seen as a meaningless question on some level. The strength of your ideas certainly seems to be or to raise questions of which the new experiments will tend to verify your concepts but what guarantees this concepts is still a matter of intuition and philosophy.
The post will be called Tran-symmetric Orthogonal Energy-Mass but I will try to make it clearer to read save for the poem of last night which led to the concepts: Mysterious Riders on the Bits and Rays of Light
Thanks you for indulging a Poet.

Tran-symmetric Orthogonal Energy-Mass
That the universe and the laws of physics are most probably and fundamentally asymmetric with respect to time- and this derived from first principles of the mathematics is an idea that can seem independent of the definition of mass and beyond the ideas of symmetry of the group of a Sphere for persistence of the physics of action and conservation of of mass. It is outside our current notions of time and some of our current notions of space.
From the proper and a little more general perspective we cannot infer a reductionism or an emergence from this assumed asymmetry and it be the only ground on which to erect our values of measure and scale. The universe-multiverse is independent of our schemes of scale and what grounds the persistence of measure is the general notions of quasicity- a third physics not just of space and time or quanta only.
In the quasic grid we have a square (or for that matter any orthogonal dimension flat or full) which is a pixel like object (certainly not just the extremes of a point or a string or even a bare combination of these). The boundaries of such a pixel are indefinite and the definition of grids within it are indefinite. So it may mean little to ask if this or that particle is finally composed of others or if it goes down to infinity of sorts. Yet on the human level we can erect a physics where as with the persistence of time and energy, of entropy in laws, realizing we need a better and freer concept of scale- for in the quasic world the totality of the span is indefinite and the depth of the pixels are indefinite- scale is a concept we use to organize our experience and perceptions. In the quasic world there is no necessary distinguishing of the very small or the very large which when you think about it is one of the problems of unifying the other physics.
From the metaphor of Western religion I now try to describe this generalization: The sphere group, the Spinozan or Cabbalic mysticism which as the insight of Noether relates the symmetry and purpose or action to the conservation of energy presumably as if a finite but boundless totality will not allow for the Sufi like laws of classical and flat planes with zero curvature and infinite extent and velocity- thus this sort of physics is vulnerable to other views of the world-especially outside of the people of the book.
If in the sufi mysticism we allow the plane then certainly we can conceive of a more classical conservation law (after all the plane is the sphere of Riemann) and in a way this assertion or decree of a law of conservation has to be so because it is hard to deal with ultimate infinities or zero outside of those concepts. In the Gnostic mysticism we seem to have a progress or the illusion of progress as the arrow of time which breaks things further into the natural dimensions, This Christian view is after all the concept of an inspired prophet or even a God-with-us which in the mysticism and defining a cult in these terms we have the idea of a Trinity and all the bloodshed the idea has caused even if not explicit in the Bible.
This is a question of dimensions but what is the number of such a God- and make no mistake the concepts of the unity of such abstract dimensions be they three or more is not to be interpreted as monotheism. Nor perhaps as Christianity depending on when one appears on the arrow of time-line (of which neither the first nor last is a given as superior or left in error). We guarantee the concept if not the specific Messiah.
In a complex of space, dimension free or not, as the quasic grid the overall unity of the universe and its conservation persistence intrinsically and not just as classical a priori decrees, is the stuff of mass and its inertial relations even beyond the idea of knots of empty space this taming of the nothingness.
Yet in this structured vacua within vacua and so on the space is replete across all scales such that the notion of unity in physics we look for is the notion of mass, its persistence, its relation to ongoing directions or free of such. We simply cannot base physics on the logic and math we have that is not better developed and truly feel it a matter of science and not raw human fallibility and faith.

Note: to those of you who look into my work for the sake of its English as a reference for teaching- my use of the words "quasicity" will not be found in the dictionary... indeed the role of poets in creativity is to invent new words and I just could not find one to fit this concept. Just as philosophy seems to be a refinement of the use of words- and acknowledgment of idiom and other cultural changes. The "tran-symmetric idea applies also to our speech as well as matter in that from one perspective at least what may be under the evolution of words and sounds shifting and the notions involved may not be either irreducible or reduced an endless background. The human in us is such a mysterious rider and perhaps the prophets where the gods are human-like and the humans though locally limited are mortal yet god-like.
Mysterious Riders on the Bits and Rays of Light
The lowly crystal worm sprouts its folding dihedral wings and
the wings determine the path and fall, the flight of worms
So the dust determines the terrain of space and
space the paths and fall of luminiferous dust
But can we gaze into the twinkling pin points of stars
say there is some ending, find there the irreducible?
Or see our fall an endless quest, all measures, levels reconciled to
the echoes of infinity so solid empty everywhere reaches quasicity?
So count of corpuscles not some prime mass of stringy models
all apply, fractions and the source of fractals, fractured amplified
Yet dampered far from the stem muted regenerations the once and forever
Mysterious Rides and fragile seasons global warming Columbines
Back when our youthful world did not destroy creative words
or those built up into any myth and code, traps not asking the why
When we were unredeemed from angry gloom our gambles and
of no romantic story not expect, demand a happy ending
* * *
When metal is exhausted, no tool to dig deeper into the earth as the sea evaporates
for good, the Giant will digests us, again to chew the world, barfs up his cud
His scaled pony with fins and flippers stands by obeys and
on the load stones for his gizzard it learns to peck and graze
Its tail defends him, mind of its own with its hidden fingers prays
what is human in him as well in Love in God left fleeting yet rides and stands amazed

Awakening to a Theory of Everything
L. Edgar Otto Oct. 8. 2010
Primitive man, wiser than save his wonder at the world
must have felt his light and shadows home bound, safe
Not homesick in the falling, immense space racing away
unreachable past the speed of light
So he drew on the blank slate to heal the outer
boundary of his fellow's skin, stars and points of
acupuncture, the ash of herbs, some constellations
Full of ships and beasts chance scattered, unique destinies
To divine what new to his early wisdom only his
intuitions vaguely see and where the cure's worse than
the disease he risks experiment and bottleneck philosophies
Symbolic then his brave chest pounding badges of art
As if seeing sickness in the world try heal the face of God Himself
Dance with dream cycles sun, moon, and earth model, and yes it is painful.

Commentary on the nature of poetry:
Just as the poetic in us inspires cosmology the sciences inspire poems. For me this was true of photos and links over the years from the Astronomy Picture of the Day website- but alas most of these poems lost with the details. Today an article on newscientist.com
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn19557-ancient-tattoos-linked-to-healing-ritual.html about tattoos crosses my poetic mood and I
am aware of moods and details of a poem (above) in my contemplations of this day.
