What does "same" mean here. Same coupling constants?...same number
of Higgs bosons?...same spacetime dimensions?
If those notion depends only on the physical laws, they will be the
same. If not, they will appear to be contingent or geographical.
For example, if all the hypostases would collapse into classical
logic, (which does not happen!), then physics would have become
trivial. Everything would be geographical, and comp would have predict
the accessibility of worlds with ... different coupling constant,
different number of H bosons, etc.
Incompleteness prevents the collapse of the hypostases, and thus save
physics from being just a sort of geography. Comp saves the "laws" in
the "physical laws".
