Strings can be closed loops {closed string} or have ends that freely move {open string}. Open-string ends have boundary conditions {Dirichlet boundary conditions}, typically different for different dimensions. For example, electron strings move in the three infinite dimensions but do not move in the seven curled-up dimensions.
