Are there 3 dimensions of space because there are 3 generations of fermions? Are the Leech lattice, the monster group, and the 6 pariah groups nature’s most fundamental mathematical structures? Is string theory the only plausible way to understand the foundations of physics? Assume that ultimate reality is adequately described by one of two alternatives: string theory with the infinite nature hypothesis or string theory with the finite nature hypothesis. Do the Leech lattice, the monster group, and the 6 pariah groups enable M-theory to have a computational method? Do superpartners occur in nature if and only if nature is infinite? What is dark matter? What is the explanation for the space roar? What is measurement and why does it exist? Measurement might be a natural process that separates the boundary of the multiverse from the interior of the multiverse. Measurement might exist because there is a 26-dimensional bosonic string theory. String theory with the finite nature hypothesis might suggest 3 decisive empirical tests; if any 1 of the 3 tests is falsified the finite nature hypothesis is likely to be wrong or irrelevant to testable physics. This communication offers a somewhat vague approach to developing a computational method for M-theory. The string landscape and the curling up of extra spatial dimensions might be the results of string theory with the infinite nature hypothesis and with thinking about strings as measurable physical entities. Three decisive empirical tests and the building up of approximations to quantum information might be the results of string theory with the finite nature hypothesis and with thinking about strings as deterministic machines that transfer information.
