  Quantum Geometrodynamics with intrinsic time development and momentric
variables is presented. An underlying SU(3) group structure at each spatial
point regulates the theory. The intrinsic time behavior of the theory is
analyzed, together with its ground state and primordial quantum fluctuations.
Cotton-York potential dominates at early times when the universe was small; the
ground state naturally resolves Penrose's Weyl Curvature Hypothesis, and
thermodynamic and gravitational `arrows of time' point in the same direction.
Ricci scalar potential corresponding to Einstein's General Relativity emerges
as a zero-point energy contribution. A new set of fundamental commutation
relations without Planck's constant emerges from the unification of Gravitation
and Quantum Mechanics.
