Using a D = 1 supergravity framework I construct a super-Friedmann equation for an isotropic and homogenous universe including dynamical scalar fields. In the context of quantum theory this becomes an equation for a wave function of the universe of spinorial type, the Wheeler-DeWitt-Dirac equation. It is argued that a cosmological constant breaks a certain chiral symmetry of this equation, a symmetry in the Hilbert space of universe states, which could protect a small cosmological constant from being affected by large quantum corrections.
