Abstract
It is shown that taking the “chiral symmetry” result

as a hypothesis allows straightforward use of the oscillator formalism to construct 4π and 6π amplitudes with no tachyon ghosts, and full Regge behaviour. An attempt is made to isolate which features of such schemes, needed to generalize the Lovelace amplitude, lead to problematic results in the multi-pion amplitudes which are obtained.
