I think you are getting close to what the "Law of
Karma" is within the Brahma Kumaris, bansy. Something as vague, undefined and flexible as possible to be moulded to fit any problem. A mental plug to stop people thinking outside of the box and keep feeding the ghost instead.
No one knows, no one can explain, every one is afraid to ask because Dadi Janki gets upset when she is asked things she does not know ... no one can say, "I do not know", admit it, and start thinking rationally.

Come on ... be honest (and I don't mean this harshly) ... that is not an "opinion". That is repeated, indoctrinated fantasy from the Brahma-kumaris. No one knows. All the evidence is against it.
I am fascinated by the love of and need for perfect numbers and rigorous symmetry Lekhraj Kirpalani, and his 'like-clockwork' mind, had. Why? I mean what is there to support it anywhere in nature? Not even the "Tree of Religious" is equally balanced. I suspect it might just come from his business days, balancing the books and making formal jewelry.
In my opinion, its the womb that is most horrendous because he is stripped of his weapons (his big body).
Again, "the prison of the womb" is another horror story Brahma-Kumari projection. I don't know how it is or felt. Mostly, the claimed records of feotus recall are are benign (... but that only means we don't hear the unpleasant ones).
On a purely pragmatic level, I have heard from old midwifes about the change in the smell and consistency of the amniotic fluid over the last few decades, something they put down to bad diet and, especially, chemicals taken from cosmetics/shampoos etc. Apparently it can stink really badly now in a way tat it did not in the past. Like it was fetid water, she could recognise the artificial, chemical smells. Whether the foetus experiences that ... that is another question. Being a new born junkie cant been fun.
But, let us not distract from the topic about how
karma works, what its limitations are and so on ... I think you are getting close to the answer by headed towards "vibrations"/state of consciousness. That is to say
karma is not an external, mechanical thing pushing nature about to suit.
