The statistical bootstrap theory of hadrons predicts a particle level density which increases with mass like ϱ(m) = cmaexp bm. The motivation for this level density is explored and then it is used to derive an equation of state for zero-temperature ultra-dense (> 1017 g cm−3) matter. The nature, uses, and limitations of the equation of state are discussed.
