The occupied and unoccupied fermionic BPS quantum states of a type-IIA stringstretched between a D6-brane and an orthogonal D2-brane are described inM-theory by two particular holomorphic curves embedded in a Kaluza-Kleinmonopole. The absence of multiply-occupied fermionic states --- the Pauliexclusion principle --- is manifested in M-theory by the absence of any otherholomorphic curves satisfying the necessary boundary conditions. Stable,non-BPS states with multiple strings joining the D6-brane and D2-brane aredescribed M-theoretically by non-holomorphic curves.Comment: harvmac 6 pages. Final version as published in JHE
