Alex;
Take a look at Bojan's
new thread (& my recent post there).
Looks like they are on the trail of what you suggest ! (Always beaten to the punch on new ideas, eh Alex ?



)
The splitting of the fundamental forces, early in the sequence, would seem to suggest these forces were a primary determining factor of what happened as things cooled down. The re-ionisation epoch would seem to hold the key to this one.
Interesting that scientists can't resist looking for patterns once they've generated a data set.
Penrose is looking for circles .. no doubt your associates, (where you live), look for patterns in tea-leaves ! I wonder what the difference is between the two approaches ?? … (just kidding .. don't take me seriously) …
Cheers
