Implications of Symmetry and Pressure in Friedmann Cosmology. II.
  Stellar Remnant Black Hole Mass Function
  We consider some observational consequences of replacing all black holes
(BHs) with a class of non-singular solutions that mimic BHs but with Dark
Energy (DE) interiors; GEneric Objects of Dark Energy (GEODEs). We focus on the
BH mass function and chirp-mass redshift distribution of mergers visible to
gravitational wave observatories. We incorporate the GEODE blueshift into an
initially Salpeter stellar remnant distribution, and model the binary
population by evolving synthesized binary remnant distributions, published
before LIGO's first measurements. We find that a GEODE produced between $20
\lesssim z \lesssim 40$, and observed at $z \sim 7$, will have its initial mass
amplified by $\sim 20-140\times$. This can relieve tension between
accretion-only growth models and the inferred masses of BHs in quasars at $z
\gtrsim 6$. Moreover, we find that merger rates of GEODE binaries increase by a
factor of $\sim 2\times$ relative to classical BHs. The resulting GEODE mass
function is consistent with the most recent LIGO constraints at $< 0.5\sigma$.
In contrast, a Salpeter stellar distribution that evolves into classical
remnants is in tension at $\gtrsim 2\sigma$. This agreement occurs without
low-metallicity regions, abnormally massive progenitor stars, novel formation
channels, or primordial object formation at extreme rates. In particular, we
find that solar metallicity progenitors, which produce
$1.1-1.8\mathrm{M}_\odot$ remnants, overlap with many LIGO observations when
evolved as GEODEs.
