The initial state of the Universe was an isotropic configuration of interacting, fundamental strings in the high-temperature Hagedorn phase with maximal entropy density, which therefore cannot be described by a semiclassical spacetime geometry. The bound state of strings ultimately decayed, by a process akin to Hawking radiation, and underwent a transition into a phase of hot radiation. Small quantum mechanical fluctuations in the initial state led to scale-invariant temperature anisotropies in the radiation, ultimately seeding local gravitational collapse and structure formation.
