One can wonder what is the most "general" theory that we can

Tegmark has realized the problem with "all consistent mathematics"
and more recently has considered only Turing computable universes.
Computable universe => comp, but
comp implies a priori non computable universe
so: computable universe can't work.
Tegmark is still failing to see the comp first person indeterminacy,
I'm afraid.
This does not prevent the possibility that some particular universal
dovetailer wins the "measure battle" in the limit. Yet, to solve the
mind-body problem, even if that is the case, we have to derive it from
*any* universal dovetailing, or universal system base. Indeed, we
might have to derive it from the arithmetical quantization BDp, in the
"material hypostases". They are already independent of the choice of
particular implementations.
