Interesting, you now not only confuse apples and oranges, and have now added cumquats to the admixture.
"Agency by estoppel" is a legal concept that exists,
ONLY, and I repeat, only if you take some action you would normally have no authority to do, and the principal upon learning of it does not repudiate it, it still does not grant you POA for any other action, it just means you got very lucky, and that the principal has accepted this
single action as his own. You cannot generalize it to anything else, and it is a dangerous thing to do.

How can "the state" or anyone else prosecute any such murder without appointing itself (or themselves) as agent on behalf of the victim?

This above statement is nonsensical, there is no private right of revenge or prosecution. Your permission, approval, or agreement in this is neither required or needed. The State is not acting on your behalf, it is acting in it’s own interests. The State’s concern is not your death or revenge for same, but that the statute against murder was broken. That is what they are acting from. They are prosecuting someone for having committed murder, that it was your murder is irrelevant-except to you. You can not repudiate the State’s action since you have no say in them in this instance, whatsoever, since they are not acting for you in any capacity except in seeing that your murder is punished.
The second part of your question is that if you do not leave a will, the State, by action of law effectively becomes your heir. Look up intestate
The answer to the last part of your question is still NO, no you cannot!! Cute but no cookie. The laws governing agency are the ones you have to go by, and playing word games won’t change them. You cannot appoint youself as someone's POA.
