As I posted earlier my issue with this is how does one know p is in P unless one can compute p, i.e. check it? While I allow for such computable universes to exist [type 1] so too will non computable universes - those subject to true noise - exist [type 2]. Why? -> The Everything can not contain just type 1 or type 2 universes since this is itself a selection i.e. information. Since the Everything can not contain any selection then all universes must be subject to true noise if any are. A way to resolve this apparent difficulty is a bidirectional flow between the two types of universes. A proper dose of true noise will convert type 2 into type 1 and the the need to eliminate selection which is the dominant dynamic driver of the Everything - will of necessity convert type 1 into type 2.
