  The concept of the moduli space allows for a simple, universally applicable
description of the low-energy dynamics of topological solitons. This
description is remarkably insensitive to the properties of the underlying
theory, whose details only manifest themselves via the moduli space metric.
This article presents a generalization of this concept, which allows to
transfer its most intriguing features to configurations of any energy captured
by the theory giving rise to the soliton, given that these are localized
sufficiently close to the soliton's center. The resulting theory is capable of
describing all dynamics within its range of applicability by just one family of
fields, with all the information about the underlying theory entering via a
finite number of background functions, which can be linked to physical
properties of the present soliton.
