The Big Bang is the hypothesis that the universe originated in a singularity and then exploded, in the sense that space became progressively more voluminous. It is the prevailing cosmological account of the development of the universe from its initial state until now. The Big Bang theory has no account of how the initial state came to be.
Particles came into existence when there were sufficient space quantum systems that their combined fluctuations contained sufficient (negative) gravitational energy to counterbalance the mass-energy from these particles.

Framing is the process of leaving out or obscuring, from the set of phenomena that need to be explained, those phenomena which would lead to the explanation incurring a disadvantage relative to other explanations. The frame is the boundary of the set of phenomena. The frame is so chosen that phenomena which the explanation accounts for well are within the frame, and other phenomena are outside of it.
QO is founded on a heuristic, the Occam method, which is based on Occam’s razor: the contention that, given a set of otherwise equivalent explanations, the explanation requiring the fewest apparently arbitrarily contrived elements is to be preferred. It is a method for deriving and evaluating an explanation tree. In QO, we apply the Occam method to determine in which sequence in which hypotheses about the universe should be examined.
