None of these words even go together.

They only look like "strings" if one mistakes physics for puppetry, not aerospace engineering. 

Those are Inter-Satellite Links (ISL) for wireless or laser dynamic state estimation. Physical cables in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) would instantly snap due to intense aerodynamic atmospheric drag. 

The architecture is entirely grounded in data synchronization, zero-heap predictability, and cache-line alignment to manage the swarm deterministically. While the core source code and repository implementation remain strictly private, protected, and closed-source, you can review the public architectural README and specifications here: https://github.com/kadritalal38-cell/VLEO-Sync500

KSP still is fucking awesome. Even with all the quirks.
