Abstract

This is a thought experiment, not a theoretical paper. I was inclined to be done with Zenodo papers, but this seemed an appropriate capstone. It makes no quantitative claims and performs no calculations. It asks one question: if the Extended Randall–Sundrum framework [1] correctly describes our universe as a resonant cavity between two branes, is the geometry self-similar? That is: are the branes themselves cavities, and is the cavity itself a brane?
