Are you still interested in talking about metabiology?

Chaitin is currently drafting some attemps on metabiology and
biological evolution of creativity. I read the latest:
http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~chaitin/darwin.pdf
I found it very interesting in it's simplicity.
Strong features:
- Abstract and theorems can be proved.
- Includes algorithmic mutations.
- Fitness is general enough to enable infinite evolution.
Weak features:
- Some oracles are used.
- Biological features such as replication, environment were removed
favoring more abstract concepts.
- Evolution is only associated with mathematical creativity, IA?
Can someone can explain how this theory is related to Algorithmic
Theories of Everything?
It *is* an algorithmic theory of everything, but like digital physics,
it still assumes a brain-mind identity thesis, which does not work
when you assume computationalism in the cognitive science. It avoids
the comp mind body problem, which forces us to derive the core of the
physical laws from a statistics on all computations.
It cannot work because it implies comp, and comp implies that
"reality" is a view from inside the space of all computations, and
this is not entirely reductible to an algorithm.
Like Wolfram, they still don't take into account that a machine cannot
know which computation support it, and can know she is distributed in
many computation. They miss the "Everett" aspect of arithmetic or
computer science. I would say in a nutshell.
