Is there a word or concept like "derationalization"? Where a process/practice/ritual/ceremony once had a meaningful rationale that has since been forgotten and no longer applies and is now sustained by random other bullshit rationalizations or sheer inertia?

No cargo cults have a different provenance. There there is a failure to understand how something works to begin with by parties who were never insiders to the original thing, and then producing a sort of farcical echo that doesn't actually function the same way.
