You've got it exactly precisely backwards. Our
mathematical objects are only emulating (mimicking)
computers which perform these computations. If you doubt this ask
yourself 2 questions:
1) Does the simple emulate the complex or does the complex emulate
the simple?
All universal system can emulate the computations done by all
universal systems, in all directions.
2) Which is more complex, a Turing Machine or a silicon processor
that obeys all the laws of physics?
Nice! You seem to agree here that a Turing machine does not obey laws
of physics. But that contradicts early statements that you made.
