The following collected papers are the theoretical basis of a model inflationary cosmology that has a number of features recognisable in the standard model. These papers were presented as a PhD thesis over three years with annual seminars and examination by an international academic.
It’s a fact of polemical warfare that there is little space in a crowded field for radical ideas, especially untutored ones. The thesis was unfortunately not accepted for award of the degree. Still I remain very confident in the overall consistency of the thesis, and am glad to present it here.
