I don't think so. particles are hgher level first person emergent
phenomenon, from the symmetries brought by the Sigma_1 proposition,
viewed with the material modalities (the probability one in the first
person indeterminacy domain).
At a higher level it is analog
in the realm of quantum waves and fields
including the electromagnetic field and perhaps some bosons
And at the highest/physical level reality goes back to particles/
fermions
Possible. OK.

In Bruno's theory both mind and matter are products of computation.

it will turn out, as you say, that they are mutually necessary.
At *our level* I grant that they are both necessary.
But this does not mean they are necessarily necessary at all level.
Indeed, with computationalism (in cognitive science) both mind and
matter
are necessarily NOT necessary at the fundamental level.
How could a universal Turing machine distinguish an emulation of its
neighborhood (including itself) by arithmetic, and that emulation
done by a
"concrete physical machine".
This does not make sense (and that's what the MGA is supposed to
show,
somehow).
