Hi Felix, I know I am bothering you, but please bear with me.
1) Do these strings that make up matter, have physical properties? How do they interact with each other? If energy is complicated, then how is it convertible to mass and vice versa?
2) Do you believe Planks time cannot be broken down further?
3) Photons cannot escape from the extreme gravity of black holes, so at any point do they behave as though they have mass? If yes, then would they have any relation with your strings?

a) This is a fundamental question and it could as easily be asked the other way round. I have described matter in some detail as constructed from combinations of strings - as in three quarks making up the protons and neutrons. So the strings don't consist of matter - they are the basic thing that goes to make matter. Energy is a little more complicated which relates to the vibration of the waveform. It requires some more thought.
b) Yes, in principle, I think that this concept provides a quantization of time - though what the actual quantities are I have no idea unless the Planck time is involved.
c) Photons are still a bit of a mystery. They seem to obey gravity in that their paths bend when they pass by a massive object but they have no difficulty defying gravity when escaping from the sun. I have similar problems with the electron and am currently trying to reconcile magnetism with my model.
