You are correct. He did tell us what He did and He even told us how He did it. It is not a “Truman Show” world. It is far more awesome that that.
The Tanakh and particularly the Torah is a holographic record of the boundary conditions the Ein Sof established for all the events in the Universe focusing on the 7000 year salvation plan. The Gematria and Equal Letter Skip (ELS) coding tell us of the importance of the ending of Hebrew year 5777 and the start of Hebrew year 5778.
For me, the key verse is not in the Torah, but in the “Tweets” of King Solomon. Wisdom is explaining the creation of the world, and she says:
PRO8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

This verse tells us that the Ein Sof used the “Laws of Form” revealed to George Spencer-Brown around 1957 to create the Universe by making the first distinction between inside and outside, i.e., drawing a circle on the face of the deep. This is why Genesis starts with Bet.
The Law of Forms provide the foundation for the Universe as an accounting system based on complex whole numbers. It explains why naming is important to the Ein Sof. Introduces the concept of the cross, as in crossing a boundary. It explains memory (and Elohim remembered Noah), oscillation (there was evening and there was morning), and mapping. Everything needed to support the Salvation Plan: “And Abraham believed Elohim and it was accounted to him as righteousness.”
Since it takes at least two dimension to form a boundary, the Law of Forms explains why Burkhard Heim, in 1948, assumed quantization of area, he was able to drive a seventh degree equation which describe the Universe as starting as three spheres, or as the Sages say, three books.
So we stand at the point in history when knowledge has increased so that we can understand how the Ein Sof made the world, and that it is quite literal to say that He did it by writing the Torah and that the Tanakh records the final vessel that the Potter crafted.
DAN12:04 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

The Book of Daniel has been unsealed. The wise would do well to heed its prophetic warnings.
