To describe ÆPT as a 'FOOT'-hold on what is going on is reasonable only because ÆPT includes and is rounded-off by a take on Ultimate Reality (UR), a take with loose, peripheral and very simple ties to the only fundamental mathematical physics framework deserving of being called a TOE. Namely string/M-theory. 

Please note that it is a conclusive take (on UR) in near enough normal English!
