Anyone know how Liquitabs work? Seem magic to me, or the results of some very clever chemistry....

Aren't they just thin bio-degradable 'plastic'?

I imagine they are made from gelatin like a cod liver oil capsual for instance.

What I'm getting at is that they clearly contain a (concentrated) liquid detergent, and survive transport etc. and heat (28degC during much of July), and then dissolve during even a very low temperature wash. Why don't they dissolve from the inside outwards?

Because not all things dissolve in all things I guess is the simple answer. pH for instance usually has a big effect on solubility.

According to the box they don't survive a misplaced drop of water, so watch it, buster!
