Abstract English The article is based on the string-hypothesis, which has important scientific consequences. Science has meant to associate the notion of number with the strict operation of counting. However, recent account of string-theoretical approaches is sharply distinguishing ”number” from ”magnitude”. In studying ”spinning” strings in the context of language, it is shown that rotation is a valid concept. For the descrip­tion of rotating strings, super strings and super symmetries, fitness values are produced during the generation of corresponding energy landscapes. Their signify­cance has been founded on the hypothesis that distance is a function of rotational acceleration and that spinors have the capacity to carry rotating string composites of varying complexity. Finally, it has been made evident that the phase transition of a string from its virtual to its material state results in a super-fluid solid, which means that dissipation-less flows of kinetic energy is decreasing the symmetry of a string. Since spinors are controlling the flow, breaking the symmetry of a string allow for the establishment of dimensional asymmetries. As a result, the asymmetry of the dimensions of intention and orientation has been determined and their componential disparity has been made manifest in the global singularities of the underlying fitness landscapes.
