The current “standard model” of particle physics—which is nearly 25 years old, has much experimental evidence in its favor and is comprised of six quarks, six leptons, four forces, and the as yet unobserved Higgs boson—contains internal indications that it, too, may be just another step along the path toward uncovering the truly fundamental degrees of freedom.

G is argued to decrease under renormalization from a less stable to a more stable critical point and plays a role in boundary critical phenomena quite analogous to that played by c, the conformal anomaly, in the bulk case.

A framework for background-independent open-string field theory is proposed, built into the formalism that classical solutions of the string field theory are Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin- (BRST-) invariant open- String field theories and that, when expanding around a classical solution, the infinitesimal gauge transformations are generated by the world-sheet BRST operator.
