Do you mind then a little more non computability re the third person point of view as per my dynamic?
I don't understand your dynamic. As for the non-computability, remember that with comp, anything like "the appearance" of a universe cannot be emulated by a universal computer. I recall that with comp the mind-body problem is partially reduce to the search of an explanation of the apparent turing-emulability of our neighborhoods. This follows from the UDA reasoning. It is related to the "hunting of the white rabbits".
My kernels would be describable by natural numbers so are they actually natural numbers?
I don't know. Your notion of kernel has not been defined in a sufficiently precise way so that I could figure out if it is reasonable to see them as numbers. You didn't answer if we can see your kernels as "theories" and/or "programs". More generally, I can attribute too much meaning to your sentences; I really think you should invest in some standard basic theories for helping you to make more precise statements which we could then criticize more constructively.
