Thanks very much, Urs, for mentioning this site which also includes
this question form R. Bousso:
"Can string theory be discretized in the following sense:* Is there a
sequence of theories with finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, such that
string theory emerges in the infinite-dimensional limit?"
I have recently returned to slowly and only occasionally considering
how to further develop a suggestion initially due to the topologist
Michael Freedman for how to go about solving one of the seven Clay
Math Millenium Problems.
As you can see in the thread below and especially in my last post, the
math I am considering might also be related to Bousso's question.
First, though, I will have to think some more about the foundations of
this general topology approach in addition to thinking some about
theories of geometry which do not depend upon the concept of
topological space.
