I don't think that there can be a single or multiple processor computing

this is
not excluded, but this would lead to a newtonian-like type of reality.
Everett
confirms that such a computation cannot be unique, which is the default
stance in
the comp theory, although we cannot avoid at this stage some possible
conspiracy by
numbers leading to a unique computable reality.
Surely a single computer could run the UD, at least until it wore out?
As I understand it the multiverse, the world, is the complete output of the UD. In effect
the UD must "finish" in order to have computed the world, which of course is an
uncomputable output.
