M-Theory equals Loop Quantum Gravity?
A string world sheet can be decomposed into a sum of Feynman diagrams (graphs).
Likewise a membrane should be decomposed into a sum of graphs also (or spin-networks).
Hence Loop Quantum Gravity should be considered as a membrane theory.
The differences are that Loop Quantum Gravity is a gravity only theory with no supersymmetry. It only exists in 4 dimensions whereas M-Theory exists in 11 dimensions.
