photon is modelled inside quantum theory it will become a
deterministic formulation. It may well be able to solve certain
problems more accurately than SFT. Like their associated numerical
methods, SFT and the modified quantum methods, there will
situations where an integral equation method will be better suited
to cover homogeneous regions and other applications where an
inhomogeneous region will be better suited to SFT. It makes sense
to retain the current nomenclature, that is, quantum theory, rather
than some new term with which workers in the field have to
become accustomed. Any modifications, including a different shape
function for the photon; implicit incorporation of relativity via the
bi-spinors; selection of mutual particles, not single particles; and
deterministic output, should be seen overall as an organic process
within the current terminology. That said quantum theory will
change comprehensively, though not totally. It may in time be seen
to be worthwhile to rename quantum mathematical methods of
analysis. Perhaps integral equation methods of SFT might be called
integralSFT,andthecurrentSFTthatactsontheMaxwellianandits
modified forms might be called differential SFT. Whether the scalar
and vector potentials or the electric (E) and H fields should be used
as variables needs to be considered carefully to match a particular
application. The largest change will be the use of analytic solutions
in comparison withthe present-day numericalsolutions.
What does SFT mean for string theory?

of electromagnetics as a basis for gravity. The number of variables
(dimensions) of space-time can be expressed as the three spatial
variables and time or four. We can term these by the following
indices:
x
,
y
,
z
and
t
. Then we have the differentials. If we assume
that time and distance never couple, then the following differentials
also apply:
xx
,
yy
,
zz
,
xy
,
xz
,
yz
and
tt
. This makes 11 dimensions
in total. This agrees with string theory. Hence there is an intimate
relationship between SFT and string theory. This gives another
rationale for the validity of SFT. The current problem with string
theory is its lack of application to 'everyday' or terrestrial physics.
