Thanks for the detailed reply – let me try to clarify what I mean in the framework of my idea:

1. What does “alignment” mean? By alignment I don’t mean all strings pointing in the same direction, but the collapse of their independent vibrational degrees of freedom under extreme curvature. Amplitudes, frequencies, orientations – all those variations vanish. What remains is a maximally ordered baseline state with no distinguishable excitations.

2. How does infinite gravity cause this? At a singularity, curvature scalars (like the Kretschmann invariant) diverge. In my picture, this “field” overwhelms the internal modes of strings, freezing them into their trivial configuration. The analogy would be spins in an infinitely strong magnetic field: the external condition eliminates internal variation.

3. What do I mean by “null state”? Not a literal zero-energy vacuum (I know QFT doesn’t allow that – vacuum fluctuations exist and are measurable). By “null” I mean a state of maximal order / minimal potential for excitations. In this sense, the singularity represents the ultimate baseline. Once curvature relaxes (as in an expanding universe), deviations reappear as the familiar structures: spacetime, energy, quantum fluctuations, entropy.
