Hi Scott,

Its a little of both science and theory, and a little conjecture and intuit, thrown in.

String theory:

Strings can be open or closed, when closed they may be viewed as a quark.

M Theory:

7 dimensions enfold to make up the,
3 dimensions of space, and you have,
1 dimension of time.
__
11 dimensions Total

I also have 7/8 dimensions enfolding to make up 3 dimensional space. ( 7 for the proton 8 for the neutron )

Quark Theory:

3 quarks make up a proton.
Color force QCD is the operant internal force for quarks/gluons. ( I don't use gluons because the quarks bind themselves. )
When you pass light through a prism you see the remains of the color which was inside the mass, that was annihilated.

Octants and Sets:

These are mathematical constructs. Real concepts of dividing space or areas. See:
( http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Octant.html )
Which I think, if for no other reason, then the prism showing the spectrum, is good evidence for those
octants being occupied.

I Ching:

Now I am getting metaphysical, and consequently on weaker ground.
My best defense for using it is how perfectly they match the mathematical Venn diagram and Octants and is a very ancient text.
Its through this that we may be able to ascribe mental and emotional issues.

So it's a bit of both. Its still in progress and is still forming.

Best to you Scott,

Pat
