Our first results in the zero-momentum bosonic I=1, S=0, T1u+ symmetry sector of QCD using a correlation matrix of 56 operators are presented. In addition to a dozen spatially-extended meson operators, 44 two-meson operators are used, involving a wide variety of light isovector, isoscalar, and strange meson operators of varying relative momenta. All needed Wick contractions are efficiently evaluated using a stochastic method of treating the low-lying modes of quark propagation that exploits Laplacian Heaviside quark-field smearing. Level identification is discussed. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1310.7887v1
