Based on a possible solution to the tetron spin problem, a modification of the standard Big Bang scenario is suggested, where the advent of a space-time manifold is connected to the appearance of tetronic bound states. The metric tensor is constructed from tetron constituents and the reason for cosmic inflation is elucidated. Furthermore, there are natural dark matter candidates in the tetron model. The ratio of ordinary to dark matter in the universe is calculated to be 1:5.
