gravitational potential energy

The gravitational potential energy of a closed system is the energy required to move each particle in the system an infinite distance from each other particle. Note that this is always negative, it is a deficit of energy that must be supplied.

In QO, there is an equivalent definition: the gravitational potential energy of a closed system is the energy that was required to create the particles in it from nothingness and move them to their current locations within the system.

Before the Big Bang, there was space: Space consists of space quantum systems, which continually split, producing new space quantum systems. Real - as opposed to virtual  - particles came into existence when there were sufficient space quantum systems within a sufficiently small volume that their combined mass-energy fluctuations contained sufficient (negative) gravitational energy to counterbalance the mass-energy from these particles, so that these fluctuations persisted.
