Very interesting idea! I never really thought of the inflationary big bang as a behaviorist account. But I suppose it has to because it's agnostic about what's inside the singularity, before Time. And what is a singularity if not an expression of monist faith? Then after the blob articulates into particles and clumps, we have to be pluralistic in the way we catalog it all.
