E = k . x^2

So when a particle travels through space it is transferring energy in & out of the spring, to & from other springs. To and from other strings.
Are strings finite or infinite in length?
Can a "network effect" make forces seem to act at infinite distance?
Could strings be made of a particular thing that exists in the "imaginary" dimension, not constrained by spacetime, only forming an "apparent" radial dimension (or force) when energy is transferred or transformed in a specific way...
Spooky, act-at-a-distance forces, might be extant abstract states that only exist in the lateral dimension, not directly observable, having only apparent effects that we can observe.
This flatlander is puzzled indeed!
