 Lowest light-cone levels of an open bosonic string

The first levels are the oscillator vacuum, ${\alpha }_{-1}^I|0⟩$, and ${\alpha }_{-2}^I|0⟩,{\alpha }_{-1}^I{\alpha }_{-1}^J|0⟩$. At level two the transverse vector representation and symmetric square assemble into the massive symmetric traceless square of one extra rotation dimension.
