  Building on, and extending, the result of a higher-order in-medium chiral
perturbation theory combined with renormalization group arguments and a variety
of observations of the vector manifestation of Harada-Yamawaki hidden local
symmetry theory, we obtain a surprisingly simple description of kaon
condensation by fluctuating around the "vector manifestation (VM)" fixed point
identified to be the chiral restoration point. Our development establishes that
strangeness condensation takes place at about 3 n_0 where n_0 is nuclear matter
density. This result depends only on the renoramlization-group (RG) behavior of
the vector interactions, other effects involved in fluctuating about the bare
vacuum in so many previous calculations being "irrelevant" in the RG about the
fixed point. Our results have major effects on the collapse of neutron stars
into black holes.
