Even if you have used some physical system (like a computer) that can

Isn't this just idealism?
If it were consistent it would be solipism. It's when your conscious
experience infers that you are communicating with another conscious
experience that the need for an explanation of the similarity of the
experiences is needed. Objective = intersubjective agreement.
