Yes, but here you add a metaphysical idea to prevent the testing of
a widely believed theories. That is what creationist do with the
theory of evolution. Adding fairy tales to avoid scientific
conclusions.
What test am I preventing??
By invoking Matter or Physical Laws to justify the stability of the
laws of physics, you prevent testing computationalism, as it makes the
Appearance of Matter/Physical-Laws deducible in (any "rich enough",
Löbian, theory). (modulo the dream/second-order emulation always
possible, I will not repeat this).
