That's a funny answer from a guy who proposed to explain
everything as traces in all possible computations.
Just to sum up, as you mention "everything"
With comp+Theaetetus:
God is explained by the Arithmetical Truth
The Intelligible is explained by Number-Provability (Gödel's
beweisbar)
The Soul is explained by the conjunction of Number-Provability and
Truth
Intelligible Matter is explained by a probability calculus (called
"bastard calculus by Plato and Plotinus) on the traces of
all computations.
Sensible matter is explained by a intensional variant of
Intelligible matter, again its conjunction with Truth.

"That which can explain anything fails to explain at all."
With physicalism, QM explains everything. At some level at least.
First, that's not true. QM is apparently inconsistent with our best
theory of gravity.
Sure, but a bit aside the point.
Second, it has been very successful at explaining what is observed.
Everything that we observe. My point is that with the quoted criteria,
this should entail that it explains nothing.
That doesn't mean it can explain ghosts, leprechauns, gods and other
things *not* observed.
Why not "consciousness" and other things that we do not see, but at
least believe in?
There's a difference between being able to explain anything and
explaining everything.
That's my point.

Would you say it fails?
I say that it fails only by its ambiguity on the observer, it uses
comp (in Everett) but fail to justify its measure. And then it
fails to address God, Intelligible, Soul and, well, the whole
theological matter, which concerns life, but also possible others
lives, other reality realms, and the other billions of very
difficult question coming from the arithmetical reality (or its
intensional variants).
