Yes, I am fully in the Bruno Marchal perspective, not the standard MWI, and I’ve been clear about that for years. My recent essays only restate what I’ve consistently said: reality as the totality of computations, with physics as an emergent phenomenon. It is indeed a form of neo-Platonism, but for me it’s the only framework that coherently links physics and subjective experience.
