Abstract. In the \mbox{Friedmann} equations, an infinite initial density is avoided only when the universe is spatially flat. With such equations being then valid when the scale factor $a=0$, the universe must also be in the state of vacuum when $a$ is infinitesimal. Matter creation thus largely comes from nonlinearity of the \mbox{Friedmann} equations at a finite $a$. For the correspondence between such an initial vacuum and the \mbox{Friedmann} universe, therefore, a vacuum density is suggested to be gravitationally significant only when it could also have a matter phase. The effective cosmological term is then due to such a vacuum density.
