  We evaluate the partition function of the free O(N) model on a two-parameter
family of squashed three spheres. We also find new solutions of general
relativity with negative cosmological constant and the same double squashed
boundary geometry and analyse their thermodynamic properties. Remarkably, both
systems exhibit a qualitatively similar behaviour over the entire configuration
space of boundary geometries. Recent formulations of dS/CFT enable one to
interpret the field theory partition function as a function of the two
squashing parameters as the Hartle-Hawking wave function in a minisuperspace
model of anisotropic deformations of de Sitter space. The resulting probability
distribution is normalisable and globally peaked at the round three sphere,
with a low amplitude of boundary geometries with negative scalar curvature.
