contents We show that the wavefunction of the universe in theories of conformally coupled scalars in power-law Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmologies satisfies a graphical coaction, by means of which we can understand its complete analytic structure in terms of the acyclic minors of Feynman graphs. Our construction extends to all particle multiplicities and any loop order, and if we isolate certain weight-one contributions, it reproduces the ``kinematic flow'' that encodes the differential equation of the wavefunction coefficients. Similarly, any discontinuity of the wavefunction coefficient is easily extracted from the coaction.
