Professor Manasse Mbonye, University of Rwanda and University of ConnecticutSelf-Regulating Cosmology (SRC) Signature Features and JWST Observations The recently proposed model of Self-Regulating Cosmology (SRC) seeks to explain characteristics of the observed Universe. The model rests on the premise that, in its evolution, the Universe is always in search of a state of dynamic equilibrium. Consequently, cosmic dynamics always tends to this state as an attractor. In SRC the Universe is characterized by four conceptual pillars: i) non-singular cosmic initial conditions; ii) periodic self-regeneration mediated by thermodynamic phase-transitions; iii) a natural inflationary beginning of each phase, and iv) a self-regulating, feedback-driven, monotonic cosmic expansion. SRC does reproduce cosmological parameters with values consistent with observations. It explains the sequence of cosmic evolution, justifying alternating epochs of deceleration and acceleration dominations. In this talk we highlight on these features and, in particular, use the model to discuss the "too-early, too-mature" cosmic structures currently observed by JWST.
