We show that the action expanded around Erler–Maccaferri's |N| D-brane solution describes the |N+1| D-brane system where one D-brane disappears due to tachyon condensation. String fields on multi-branes can be regarded as block matrices of a string field on a single D-brane in the same way as matrix theories.
