There's no mystery. That's presumably how a machine packed
them during manufacture.
Hi Roger,
The order of the crackers has a cause, some physical process lead
to the order. When we are considering ontological models and theories
and using ideas that depend on epistemological knowledge, it is easy to
fall into regress. I have found that regress can be controlled and there
is even a nice mathematical theory that uses regressive sets - sets that
have no least member and sets that have themselves as a member, but any
time that we claim a 'cut off' there has to be sufficient reasons for it.

Get a box of crackers with the crackers all lined perfectly up inside.
No explanation at all is given as to how the cracker got to be
"perfectly lined up". ... Right.
That's Platonia.
Now invert the box and let the crackers fall, scattering on the
floor and some even breaking. That's our contingent world.
Nobody knows why, but that's the way time works.
