TL;DR Summary
What collapsed the wave function when the universe was just beginning
If the wave function collapse is real then what in the very early universe caused the wave functions to collapse into particles since there were no observers? There were not even particles, just a impossibly hot 'soup' of nothing. So what created them?

This question is unanswerable as you ask it because you have not specified what particular "collapse is real" interpretation you are using. You need to pick one.

I am not sure it matters which interpretation is used.
It most certainly does, since "collapse" is not "real" on many interpretations, and there are more than one for which it is "real", and in order to answer questions we have to have a specific interpretation to use.

The rest of your wall of text is unreadable, and since you do not appear to have a well posed question, this thread is now closed.
