Well, no, there is no TOE that describes all features of the physical universe yet.

But if comp is true, there is. If comp is true, the theory with the axioms Kxy = x + Sxyz = xy(zy), or elementary arithmetic HAVE TO describe all feature of the physical universe. If not comp is false.

But that's like saying if Catholicism is true then there is a God who's omniscient. You should be more cautious about the modus tollens: "There is no TOE hence comp is false."

No problem. There is an infinite scheme of TOEs (when we assume comp). I have given three in my recent preceding posts. Combinators, RA and a system of Diophantine equations. If you find something not explainable in one of them, then comp is refuted. That would be the case for "classical comp" (that is comp + Theaetetus) if you find a quantum tautology not provided by Z1*, S4Grz1, or X1*).

It would not be a problem for me if comp is refuted.
