  It is now believed that the universe is composed of a small amount of the
normal luminous matter, a substantial amount of matter (Cold Dark Matter: CDM)
which is non-luminous and a large amount of smooth energy (Dark Energy: DE).
Both CDM and DE seem to require ideas beyond the standard model of particle
interactions. In this work, we argue that CDM and DE can arise entirely from
the standard principles of strong interaction physics out of the same
mechanism.
