Self-similar string solutions near the point of singularity formation will be derived, and shown to extend to point- like singularities on M-branes. A (unique) Spin(9)xSU(2) singlet state, involving the fermionic degrees of freedom of the corresponding supersymmetric membrane matrix model will then be constructed, to which any non-singular zero energy wavefunction of SU(2) matrix theory has to, at the origin, reduce to.
