The main problem with comp that I see is the presentation problem. Computation requires no sights, sounds, smells, flavors, feelings, etc, not does it make sense that any of these could be intentionally or accidentally generated by computation alone. Comp does not seem to refer to the universe in which we actually reside, only a theoretical non-verse of arithmetic relations. Computation and counting are useful specifically because they lack any physical bodies or proprietary characteristic - numbers apply figuratively to anything because they apply literally to nothing.
