Abstract: | The Lehto-Tifft redshift quantization model is used to predict the redshift distribution for certain classes of quasars, and
for galaxies in the neighborhood of z = 0.5. In the Lehto-Tifft model the redshift is presumed to arise from time dependent decay from an origin at the Planck
scale; the decay process is a form of period doubling. Looking back in time reveals earlier stages of the process where redshifts
should correspond to predictable fractions of the speed of light. Quasar redshift peaks are shown to correspond to the earliest
simple fractions of c as predicted by the model. The sharp peaks present in deep field galaxy redshifts surveys are then shown to correspond to
later stages in such a decay process. Highly discordant redshift associations are expected to occur and shown to be present
in the deep field surveys. Peaks in redshift distributions appear to represent the spectrum of possible states at various
stage of the decay process rather than physical structures.
