Similar thing happening in the virtual universe, everyone in the world crowded together in this online space. You try to fit in with the group, but when group gets so big, SOMEONE will hate you for ANYTHING you say, and you can't escape the space and go found a new world where everyone in your new group agrees and competes with the shitheads who disagree on the other team, so you stop trying to fit in, and everyone trying to fit in is how society works in the first place. This happens to everyone and society collapses totally. Like tower of Babel.
If Universe 25 were divided into different colonies with strong but porous borders it wouldn't have totally collapsed. The rats would have grouped up according to behavior and preferences and lived happily among their nation state instead of eating each other. They ate each other because there was nowhere to escape from the shitheads in the community So they ate them instead.

it would've collapsed it just would've taken longer, they didn't eat each other and the infighting died down long before the civilization collapsed, the issue is the lack of adversity
