Liz,
Reality doesn't seem to have any difficulty computing the results
of random choices.
If reality computes, then reality is a computer/universal-number. If
reality is physical reality, then this is the digital physics thesis,
which is self-contradictory (due to the UDA).
Also, computing and obtaining a random result is contradictory by
itself, as computing is determinated. It can make sense with a quantum
computer, or with self-duplication, (or both like in Everett), so you
might clarify here. Are you (Edgar, Brent) assuming a quantum
computer? With comp this is a sort of treachery, as far as we are
concerned with the fundamental reality.

That's how practically all computations occur. If we assume, or
define, reality as computational then reality is computing random
results by definition. It's obviously something that reality math
does quite well.
It's not Church-Turing, but it might be the way the world works.
