This paper suggests that the quantum geometry of asymptotically locally Euclidean spaces underlies the dynamics of superstrings moving on Calabi-Yau manifolds. In particular, it is pointed out that solving the Wheeler-DeWitt equation is akin to using a neural network to color maps on a Riemann surface. In the infrared limit such map colorings are formally equivalent to Calabi-Yau vacua for superstrings.
