Meanings
-
(qualifier:string theory) A hypothetical precursor to a fundamental string that can evolve into a fundamental string as the higher dimensions compactify.
If the transverse space of the protostring could be "decompactified", string bit models might provide an appealing and solid foundation for superstring theory..
