Oh I see! I think that's of philosophical taste as well. I don't think
everybody would agree with you. Specially if you poll physicists like
those that constructed the standard model of computation! We cannot
ask Feynman, but I actually asked Deutsch. He does not only think QM
is our most basic physical reality (he thinks math and computer
science lie in quantum mechanics), but he even takes quite seriously
his theory of parallel universes! and he is not alone. Speaking by...
when I do not agree with them (since AIT does not require
non-deterministic randomness) I think it is not that trivial since
even researchers think they contribute in some fundamental (not only
philosophical) way.

Still, one must remember that there is Quantum Theory, and then there
are the interpretations of Quantum Theory. As I understand things there
are still several models of the universe which yield the same
observables, and choosing between them is a matter of taste. They are
all totally consistent with standard Quantum Theory...but ...well, which
do you prefer? Multi-world? Action at a distance? No objective
universe? (I'm not sure what that means.) The present is created by the
future as well as the past? As I understand things, these cannot be
chosen between on the basis of Quantum Theory. And somewhere in that
mix is "Wholeness and the Implicate Order".
When math gets translated into Language, interpretations add things.
