Dynamical Emergence of FRW Cosmological Models

Recent astronomical observations strongly indicate that the current Universe is undergoing an accelerated phase of expansion. The discovery of this fact was unexpected and resulted in the comeback of cosmological constant. The conception of standard cosmological model has its roots in this context. The paper relates to the methodological status of effective theories in the context of cosmological investigations. We argue that the standard cosmological model (LCDM model) as well as the CDM have a status of effective theories only, similarly to the standard model of particle physics. The LCDM model is studied from the point of view of the methodological debate on reductionism and epistemological emergence in the science. It is shown in the paper that bifurcation as well as structural instability notion can be useful in the detection of emergence the LCDM model from the CDM model. We demonstrate that the structural stability of the LCDM model can explain the flexibility of the model to accommodation of the observational data. We show that LCDM model can be derived from CDM as the bifurcation. It is an example of acausal derivation of Lambda term. The case study of emergence of LCDM model suggests that it can be understood in terms of bifurcation and structural stability issue. The reduction from the upper models represented in terms of dynamical system to low-level ones can be realized in any case by application of a mathematical limit (boundary crossing) with respect to the model parameter. It is a simple consequence of mathematical theorem about smooth dependence solutions with respect to time, initial condition and the parameters.
