I want to say that while I was reading again the "Japanese (IKKT) matrix
model" paper
http://arxiv.org/abs/http://www.arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9612115
- because it is now being studied by several people what its relation to
the quantum foam ideas might be - the authors forced me to realize that
the Schild gauge (see page 4 of that paper), which is the form in which
they obtain type IIB strings as the large N limit of their model, is
actually the supersymmetrized version of your quartic term for the stringy
action which is classically equivalent to the Polyakov or Nambu-Goto
actions. Or at least, they are very similar.
Best wishes
Lubos
