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.

I believe it can be consistent to be all three, a behaviorist, a monist and a methodological pluralist, but is not necessarily so: e.g.: believing that all galaxies derive from one beginning and seeing that oneness carries through and exists within all, though environmental impacts cause unique manifestations that still, within their uniqueness, still reveal the same overall oneness, a conclusion arrived at by a methodological pluralistic research mode, could exist as a somewhat reasonable belief.
