I fully agree with the topology idea- now for more than 21 years- see please my paper: http://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/GluckPunderstand.pdf published first in Fusion Facts edited by Hal Fox.
Yes, topology is the key but it would be good to find a better name for the very places/sites than "cracks" that has some negative meanings . Nano-voids would be fine, I think. However the places are IMHO no inert vessels where just D + D or H + H reactions take place. The walls of the nano-voids are also active participants in a lot of nuclear reactions. Transmutations take place- the lattice has a role.
