184. Supersymmetric minisuperspace models have indeed proved to be a very valuable tool, leading to important and interesting results, as well as pointing out other useful lines of research. However, most of SQC features have not yet been fully contemplated in more complicated configurations. Let us emphasize that a reduction of the physical bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom to solely spatial homogeneity enforces a severe truncation. It should even be said that the validity of a minisuperspace approximation in quantum gravity is still an open issue for discussion (see [77] and references therein). A brief discussion about this issue in SQC can be found in [1, 8]. Nevertheless, the results obtained so far in a (supersymmetric) quantum cosmological procedure seemed to predict a dynamically consistent universe whose physical meaning is hoped to be somehow present in a full theory of quantum (super)gravity.
