Stephen, Thanks for the welcome to the group. It's certainly far superior to most and the members should be commended!
To address your questions. No, the computations of the universe exist don't run in a physical reality. Physical reality emerges from these computations as they are interpreted in human, and other organism's, mental models of reality. Light cones are important but emerge FROM computational reality as dimensionalization emerges from quantum events. (See my post on the quantum aspects of my work in a separate topic of that title). Light cones are how we visually see and confirm the 4-dimensional hyperspherical geometry of our universe. We actually see all 4-dimensions all the time as we look down our light cones. Our 4-dimensional universe lies clear before us. No tricks needed! Therefore your gravity=acceleration argument (which is of course true) doesn't apply. There is a single self-consistent universal computational system at the information level. Different relativistic views of this reality, with different light cones, are just different ways different observers view and interpret the dimensional aspects of this single universal computational reality in their respective frames as they emerge from quantum events.
