You're still not actually addressing my point, that human nature is only what is universal to humans, not what is present in some humans in a specific time, place, and socio-economic paradigm.
With humans, there is nothing universal or instinctual. Statistically speaking humans are like a virus on the earth consuming and hoarding to consume later and compete with each other for resources - but are smart enough to create the fiction of the rule of law.
Your opinion, I disagree, and there is no proof either way, so we're just going in circles.
Law is fictional but we can swear fealty to it and give it power in that way.
True, but why would we? I am a huge fan of agreements, contracts, intentional communities, dispute-resolution organizations, and many other fictions that we can give power to, which do not involve force or coercion.
True statement...

Nothing besides adaptation. Thus my statement that human nature is a fiction.
Uhh... survival, safety, reproduction...
Human nature is to hoard resources. Law is fictional but we can swear fealty to it and give it power in that way.

Who decides when a violation of a private agreement happened?
Those involved, and/or anyone else that was involved in the agreement process as a mediator, DRO, etc.
Morality is also fictional construct created by the framework of fictional law and therefore, morals need our fealty to have power.
There are many who would disagree with that. Check out Mark Passio's "Natural Law" seminars.
