The UDA is a comparatively short program, and provably contains the

To be more precise (I hope) - assuming that thoughts, experiences
etc are a form of computation at some level, the output (or trace)
of the UDA, which I seem to recall is designated UDA*, will
eventually generate those thoughts, experiences etc. Though if run
on a PC it would probably take a few googol years to do so (and
require many hubble volumes of storage space too, I imagine).
However, arithmetical realism assumes that the trace of the UDA
already exists timelessly.
Of the UD. UD is the program doing the universal dovetailing.
UDA is for the 8 step argument showing that if we are machine, physics
is a brnach of machine's theology, itself a branch of arithmetic or
computer science.

Similarly, all of the known laws of physics could fit on a couple
sheets of paper. QM seems to suggest that all possible solutions to
certain equations exist, and so there is no need to specify the
initial conditions of the universe (which would require much more
information to describe than your brain).
This sounds like the "Theory of Nothing" again.....?
