I have labored to produce stable, low energy, or ground state solutions. But, as difficult as it is to find valid solutions, any solution I did find which was not in violation of the rules has been built and/or documented. I suspect the sinusoidal models might be required to allow for compatibility of quark distributions on adjacent nuclear shells, as well as describing the properties of allotropic elements, but that is a conjecture only. I apologize for the relatively few solution sets I have to offer, I'm sure there are many more. I was hoping to have solutions up to Neon, to determine exactly what it is that makes an inert element inert. Unfortunately, the glued wire techniques I use make it very difficult to solve for the more complex shells by hand and eye. I still feel there are enough shell solutions provided to make an assesment of the functional utility of this string model... at least, I hope so.
