Yes, you do eventually go back to might makes right, unfortunately. all you can do is set norms within trusted communities and attempt to establish extremely competent defenses against outside intrusion that doesn't conform to the norms. Defectors who choose the zero-sum coercive strategy might have an edge in some games, so some of us try to play positive-sum games which reverse that.

I'm not trying to persuade anyone that my way is better. I'm merely saying I'm going to do it, and for anyone who runs the same open protocol as me we'll be doing it together. Feel free to opt-out. that's sort of the whole point...

"How order came to be" is irrelevant. you're describing investigations into how things work, what they do, what they might do, etc. Hopefully you can allow the available-to-you history to contribute to your present analysis as much as possible, but even if the history is totally inaccessible to you, you can still attempt to make sense of the present.

It's very obvious that you're trying to smuggle in a justification for believing in the supernatural. Just say "I want to, even if it might not make sense to you" rather than attempting to force it into the worldview I'm describing. I don't care if you want to believe weird shit.
We're on opposite sides of this: you think it matters (to outcomes) if the weird shit is there, I don't think it matters (to outcomes) if the weird shit is there or even paid any mind to. At the end of the day these are personal preferences and there's nothing to be gained by attempting to shoehorn them into a single frame. They can just be separate.
