Comp says the exact contrary: it makes matter and physical

But it makes them enough TE so that you can yes to the doctor who

The doctor does not need to emulate the "matter" of my brain. This
is completely not Turing *emulable*. It is only (apparently) Turing
simulable, that is emulable at some digital truncation of my brain.
Indeed matter is what emerges from the 1p indeterminacy on all more
fine grained computations reaching my current states in arithmetic/
UD.
OK, but just to clarify: The emergent matter is not emulable because
there are infinitely many computations at the fine grained level
reaching your current state. But it is simulable to an arbitrary
degree.
If you can prove that.
I would say yes, but it does not seem obvious to prove. You have to
emulate bigger and bigger portions of the UD*, and the 1-view are only
defined in the limit, being unaware of the UD-delays. Not obvious. It
might be true, but in some non tractable sense. Hmm... Interesting
question.
I will think more on this, I smell a busy beaver situation. Your
decimals, of your prediction might take a very long time to stabilize.
I dunno.
But I'm still unclear on what constitutes "my current states". Why
is there more than one? Is it a set of states of computations that
constitutes a single state of consciousness?
If you say "yes" to the doctor, and if the doctor is luckily accurate,
the "current state" is the encoding of the "universal number + data"
that he got from the scanning. Basically, it is what is sent through
the teleportation.
From the 1-p view, that state is unique, indeed. It is "you <here and
now>" at the moment of the scanning (done very quickly for the sake of
the argument).
There is no more than one. But its encoding, and its relevant
decoding, are generated infinitely often in the UD*, with different
continuations, leading to your current self-indeterminacy. It is the
subjective same you, like the people in W and M before they open the
teletransporter box, just before differentiation.
Oops, I see that I wrote "my current states", with a "s". So it means
I was talking about the 3p computational states in the UD*
corresponding on my (unique) current consciousness state. That exists,
in the comp theory.
Hope I am enough clear, tell otherwise if not.
