I generalize this result to propose that an {\em incipient} 3D pion lattice structure may be formed during hadronization of a QGP. I then present a method to detect this structure in the transverse phase space of heavy-ion collisions which depends on local transverse Hubble flow. I also relate this correlation structure to recently proposed suppression of net charge and baryon-number fluctuations on rapidity after sudden traversal of the QCD phase boundary.6 pages, 2 figuresHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyPion Lattices in HI Transverse Phase Space and Sudden Traversal of the QCD Phase Boundarytext
