Abstract
Throughout this volume, we have either presented new frameworks within which SQC can be investigated, or new results, some extending from the settings in Vol. I, that lead to interesting but as yet untackled problems. In this sense, these routes to SQC were also initiated by the objectives and subsequent results from purely bosonic quantum cosmology. One remaining issue is whether or not these different approaches might all be equivalent. As we near the end of this volume, the reader will hopefully agree that SQC constitutes a vaster, more adequate, and more elegant perspective for the very early universe. With this in mind, we have in this volume discussed further essential elements from either QC or SUSY/SUGRA, with a view to obtaining a more realistic SQC.

This means the necessary initial conditions for inflation must be implied by the boundary condition for the wave function of the universe.
