I would like to add a bit more information on the the Discrete Fractal
paradigm's definitive predictions regarding the dark matter.

The mass ratio of the 8 x 10^-5 to 0.15 solar mass systems is about
1/1836.

In this first order approximation, all but the the 8 x 10^-5 solar mass
subpopulation have masses that are integer multiples of about 0.145
solar masses. Thus 0.145, 0.29, 0.44, 0.58 ... solar masses. Well
over 90% of the dark matter mass in the observable universe, however,
should be found in the 0.15 solar mass and 0.58 solar mass
subpopulations.

Where are all these objects, you ask?

1. Microlensing experiments many have already found evidence for large
numbers of these objects (see references in the original post).

2. All radio pulsars, isolated neutron stars, soft gamma ray repeaters,
anomalous X-ray pulsars, central compact objects in supernova remnants,
and rotating radio transients are members of the general class of
objects predicted by the Discrete Fractal paradigm. "But WAIT!", you
say, "most of these are not Kerr-Newman black holes, and most of them
are NOT DARK!".

Exactly so. These systems are the among the more massive systems in
the general class and they appear to be in moderately to highly excited
states. There is a rigorous self-similarity between them and subatomic
nuclei in excited states. The stellar scale systems are ejecting
matter and emitting stellar scale EM radiation in order to de-excite
back to the stable ground state, in exact analogy to what happens with
subatomic nuclei.

Would you like to see one of these systems that appears to have nearly
returned to the ground state? Again, go to the www.arxiv.org site and
download a copy of the preprint by Park et al numbered
astro-ph/0610004. At the center of a SNR they observe (as in a real
object that actually exists in nature) a point-like X-ray source with a
very low temperature black-body spectrum. Emission is fairly steady;
it may or may not be weakly pulsating at 7.5 sec. No counterparts at
other wavelengths are observed. The size of the emitting region is
estimated at 0.4 km, a radius that has been predicted by the discrete
fractal paradigm (ApJ 322, 34-36, 1987). The X-ray luminosity is about
10^33 ergs/sec, which is not that far from the DF prediction of ground
state accretion-generated X-ray luminosities of 10^28 to 10^32 erg/sec.
The system ejected its outer plasma shells, and inside we find an
object well on its way to returning to its ultracompact ground state,
if not virtually already there. This object should be followed
closely, since it might be a very useful test case.

My friends, it may just be a fractal world,
