No. You have insulted many people a long time before they react to the insult. You arrive in a list, and you don't seem to have follow any previous thread. people suggested you to read the UDA, which makes your statement incompatible with computationalism, but it remains unclear if your statements fit or not with computationalism, as you don't define the term "computation" that you are using.
which you and Liz did earlier today and yesterday by referring to me as "a Troll".
That was not an insult, but a question related to your way to insult people, and of never addressing their question, except by mocking them with an insulting tone.
If you insult someone you should expect to receive the same. If you don't I certainly won't..... OK?
Tell us your assumption clearly. Tell us what you mean by "computational", and this without invoking some "reality", as computation, like most usable concept, is defined independently of any ontology, except for some infinite set of finitely specifiable objects (like strings, numbers, combinators, programs, ...).
A computation is what a computer do. You said that "reality computes". Are you saying that "reality" is a computer? Is it a mathematical computer, or is it implemented in some physical reality. If it is mathematical, can you tell us what you assume in math. You said "information", but that term was not defined, and is typically used in many senses.
I don't see any theory up to now. If you can clarify, it is up to you to provide the clarification.
