hence F=ma cannot be universaly true if comp is true.

Even F=m*a cannot be universal as I've shown,

It might be. I think it is (I mean the Feynman generalisation, which
is already close to comp-physics, but that's out of the topic).


...

The computation interfere below the substitution level, but the
artificial simulation with F≠ma, bring an artificial physics, which
does not result from the interference below the subst. level.

If qZ1* proves F=ma, and if my environment does not obeys F=ma, it
will looks "dreamy" to me, I will see that I am not in a real (comp)
physical reality, I will see the discrepancy.



F=ma is more of a definition actually, than a logical constraint. It
is how we define (and operationally measure) "force".

No problem with that, and that is why a answered with F = KmM/r^2, but that was not much relevant.




If you have a copy of Vic Stenger's "Comprehensible Cosmos", he
discusses this from page 48.

No problem. I appreciate the argument.
I read it online, and it was taught by some physicists.


Actually, the correct relativistic form is F=dp/dt, where p is the 3
momentum of the object under consideration. F=ma is its low velocity
approximation.

Sure. Even F = dp/dt is a classical approximation deducible from Feynman 
integral.



So I would be surprised if COMP fails to prove Newton's second law -
it would mean someone was using terminology inconsistently.

F= ma is like H phi = E phi. All is in F, or H. Those equality should be laws indeed, and deducible from deeper laws. It might be more doubtful for F or H, except that the Turing universality of the vacuum suggest some "H = 0", à-la Dewitt-Wheeler. But we are not yet there ..

But this seems to point to a deeper problem. If we elaborate H and E as operators and psi as a ray in a Hilbert space and if we further define the Hilbert space, we will still have a symbolic expression which we can related ostensively to some apparatus. But we will never get down to an arithmetical computation.
