  Pre-gauging the cosmological scale factor $a(t)$ does not introduce
unphysical degrees of freedom into the exact FLRW classical solution. It seems
to lead, however, to a non-dynamical mini superspace. The missing ingredient, a
generalised momentum enjoying canonical Dirac (rather than Poisson) brackets
with the lapse function $n(t)$, calls for measure scaling which can be realised
by means of a scalar field. The latter is essential for establishing a
geometrical connection with the 5-dimensional Kaluza-Klein
Schwarzschild-deSitter black hole. Contrary to the Hartle-Hawking approach, (i)
The $t$-independent wave function $\psi(a)$ is traded for an explicit
$t$-dependent $\psi(n, t)$, (ii) The classical FLRW configuration does play a
major role in the structure of the 'most classical' cosmological wave packet,
and (iii) The non-singular Euclid/Lorentz crossovers get quantum mechanically
smeared.
