OK, thanx! but can you answer this? Are amplitude configurations the boundries in my analogy?
No, I can’t answer that. I know next to nothing about branes, beyond the fact that they’re entities posited in string theory which may or may not exist, so if I try to determine what they relate to in any analogy I’d be speculating in ignorance.
Am I the only one who really wants to make a joke about zombies here?
I’d like to hear it! Even if I am the brunt of the joke.
Well, I didn’t actually bother to construct a joke at the time, but it would have been something on the order of:
“What does a zombie string-theoretician consider the fundamental non-perturbative features of string theory to be?”″BRANES!”
