I'd say the methods emerge from madness, as the natural order emerged from quantum wildness. The history of the universe is constructive and ordered, as it happens by complexification and evolution, but underlying it and preceding it is immense disorder or inhuman strangeness. For instance, after all the stars have burned out, eons may still pass before the black holes burst, so the universe's aftermath would hardly be what we'd call "ordered." Likewise, there's no order in a gravitational singularity.

I'm saying that wildness is likely more creative than sterile, objectified, Newtonian matter (that passes its creativity to the divine architect, via implicit deism). A wild foundation would try out all possibilities until some end up being productive. (See the link below.)

I don't think there's any divine self underlying this natural creativity, but nature does include us, so on some level we represent what the universe can do.
