Stephen, I think we need to back up and explore the root of this apparent disagreement.
If I understand you you claim there are multiple computational realities while I claim there is only one. Is that correct? If so then please answer a few questions so I can understand your position better. 1. What defines or separates one of these realities from another? 2. Don't they all exist somehow as parts of some super-reality? It seems that whatever criteria are used to distinguish them must be a criterion that exists in some reality that encompasses them all? 3. How do these separate computational realities communicate with each other as they must if they are to computationally interact and communicate? If they can't then they would seem to be entirely separate universes.... 4. Do these separate realities correspond to separate observers? If so do you assume there is no actual reality outside the individual world views of individual observers and that individual observers exist in entirely separate realities? That's enough questions to start with. Hopefully we can explore the details of this disagreement to the extent we can figure some test to resolve it.
