​That is totally unimportant, ​It's not worth arguing about because it
wouldn't change anything even if it were true. But I'll tell you the REALLY
important question, is physics a emulation of arithmetic or is arithmetic a
emulation of physics?

Straw man my ass, if what you say was true the universe would be *RADICALLY*
different from the world we observe, the world where people have to pay
money for INTEL silicon microchips.

Wow, calling a guy known for disliking religion religious, never heard that

​And like I said, Aristotle was the worst physicist who ever lived. ​

​Run? RUN! Without physics nothing is running, your FORTRAN or Algol
program is just static squiggles on a paper doing absolutely  nothing. ​

​Indeed it would be but don't blame me for that, you're the one who said
calculations don't need physics not me. ​

​I don't care what "comp" predicts because "comp" is one colossal bore.
