The superstring representation of the universe of codes

We discuss the continuum field theory limit of the physical scenario described in Ref. [1], the universe arising from the interpretation of the most general collection of logical codes in terms of distributions of units of energy along units of space. This limit leads in a natural way to string theory as the theory which allows to perturbatively parametrize the geometric structures in terms of propagating particles and fields. We discuss some general properties of the spectrum, masses and couplings, the existence of the strong force, with particular attention to the excited states, and the implications for the physics of high energy colliders.
