The operations of physical reality work consistently throughout the whole physical universe. Mathematics remains eternally valid and produces consistent results.
Rules of logic don't have anything to do with consistency. And as to the other point, there is evidence to contradict that. The known physical laws are mostly consistent but fail in situations such as while approaching a singularity.

No, even when considered as a whole, the entropy (disorder) within the universe is constantly increasing. That is another thing that contradicts your "integrated whole" idea.

Actually, if you follow the map correctly and there is not bad-luck, then yes, reaching your destination is pretty much guaranteed.
The destination market in your morality road-map is integrity and harmony, its not happiness. And I'm willing to accept for the moment that your map would lead to that destination. But what about the destination of happiness? Where does that lie on the map? Does your route go through it? Is it possible that you might have to take a detour?
