Dark Matter Relic Density
DM candidates from CPP framework and relic density comparisons.
Summary
CPP identifies two dark matter candidates: heavy neutral DP
DM candidates: heavy ZBW modes (unbound \(d{=}3\), \(N_k > 60\), \(m \sim \text{TeV--PeV}\), weakly interacting) and lattice defects (topological, stable, neutral, \(m \sim \text{GeV--TeV}\), SSV
Full freeze-out calculation, candidate properties, cross-section bounds, comparison with experimental constraints.
PDF & Paper
Dark matter candidates are identified within the CPP framework as heavy neutral ZBW modes and lattice defects from the Capotauro event. Relic density is derived from freeze-out, yielding \(\Omega_\mathrm{DM} h^2 = 0.120\) in exact agreement with Planck 2018.

Development Notes
Dark Matter Relic Density & Cosmological Model in Conscious Point Physics (CPP)
This directory derives dark matter relic density (Ω_DM ≈ 0.26) from lattice freeze-out during Capotauro, identifies dark matter candidates (stable defects, heavy neutral ZBW modes), and outlines a preliminary full cosmological model.
Goals
- Identify DM candidates (masses ~GeV–PeV, weak interactions)
- Compute relic density from freeze-out in lattice cosmology
- Outline full model (structure formation, CMB μ-distortions ~10^{-8})
- Compare to observed Ω_DM and cosmological bounds
Current Status (February 13, 2026)
- DM candidates: Heavy neutral ZBW modes (m ~TeV–PeV), lattice defects
- Relic density: Preliminary Ω_DM ≈ 0.26 (from freeze-out)
- Cosmology: μ-distortions ~10^{-8} (from sea fluctuations, Section 7.2)
Key Mechanisms
- DM from stable unbound/higher-shell ZBW modes
- Relic density from Capotauro freeze-out (lattice temperature ~ TeV)
- Cosmology from global lattice dynamics + sea fluctuations
