Recursive Defect Networks

Recursive Defect Networks are the networks of topological structures, left by recursive symmetry breaking, that the book names as the source of non-Gaussian features in the cosmic microwave background. The book places them in its list of testable predictions under Symmetry Breaking: cosmic microwave background non-Gaussian features from recursive defect networks, with sensitivity better than 10⁻⁶. They are thus the observable residue of the symmetry-breaking cascade, following specific evolution patterns that the book treats under Topological Defect Network Evolution. It connects to Topological Defect Network Evolution, Recursive Correlations, Symmetry Breaking Information and Secondary Breaking.
