Which is not the same as to exist in the world.

Indeed.

Especially when the world is made by a God in six days.

The question is which is the best to assume when we want to explain world appearance. But the UDA makes impossible to reify the notion of physical world and keep mechanism at the same time. So, once we assume computationalism, we already assume elementary arithmetic, and we can't assume anything more for the ontology. We can (and have to) assume more but we can only do that as convenient epistemological fiction or shortcut. That is why I "model" the ontology with RA, and the observer as PA. I put already the induction axioms of PA in PA's epistemology. Wuth UDA, we know that the physical reality is a psychological first person plural construct.

But we don't know that. We only know that if the world is a computation then it appears among the infinite UD computations and this will include the computations that instantiate consciousness - because we've assume that.

You have been closer to the genuine understanding some years ago, it seems to me.

No: the physical reality is not a computation, nor any number of computations which appears in the UD.

Physics is the FPI calculus by the first person distributed in infinitely many computations. It is first person universal construct by all machines relatively to the infinitely many computations below their substitution level. That is what gives the qZ1* and qX1* theories, when provided by the introspecting universal machine.

You confuse digital mechanism with digital physicalism, but as I said; there are not compatible, even if they get close in case you lower the substitution level up to the entire universe. But if that is the case, that remain to be proved.

IF I am machine, neither mater nor mind are defined by one computation. They need all of them, due to the FPI. A priori it explains nothing as it predicts white rabbits all over the places at all instants, but computer science shows that this is far from being the case. the ignorance implcit in the FPI appears to be highly and non trivially structured.
