Like I said in another discussion, I think the physics we see has to be plausible, but it doesn't really need to have an explanation. Setting definite rules could limit the possibilities for future stories, which is really the most important part of Oddworld.
In that way, Oddworld won't (I imagine) develop a background laws of physics in the same way that - say - the Discworld series will. Discworld (which I refer to simply because I'm currently reading and enjoying the series) seems to have stories to explore the physics, as opposed to the other way around.
