OK.

Yes. But Wittgenstein’s remark was self-defeating, and invite the question 
“what are you talking about?”. Lol.
I made a comparative study of Wittgenstein, Lao-Ze and the Universal Machine in 
the long version of my thesis. What Wittgenstein missed is that the machine are 
aware of their incompleteness, conditionalized on their consistency.

Assuming a unique reality. I prefer the term  “inseparable”, because 
“non-locality” is often interpreted the existence of FTL influence (even if 
they cannot be used to transmit information), but such FTL influence seems to 
me suspicious. Some might disagree, but I have not yet seen a proof that any 
FTL subsists when we abandon the collapse postulate. Bell assumes that 
experiments gives univocal results.

If mechanism is true, the Universe if the mind of the universal machine, and 
the observable part of it is a sort of projective limit internal to arithmetic. 
Note this is close to Wittgenstein statement that the objective is the border 
of the subjective.

It appears with Galilee, Einstein, Everett. Mechanism pushes this to its 
logical limit.

The quantum itself is due to the arithmetical reality observing itself. With p 
being a sigma-1 sentences, incompleteness imposes the following variants:

p     truth
[]p   belief
[]p & p  knowledge
[]p & <>t  observable.   (And it explains the quantum formally and intuitively 
with the many-histories).
[]p & <>t & p sensitive

The whole physicalness comes from the universal machine observable mode. The 
“<>t” assures it makes probabilistic sense. It avoids the cul-de-sac world 
where probabilities makes no sense (intuitively and formally).

Recursively enumerable, and creative, in Elis Post sense. All programs, 
including all quantum computer, can be simulated exactly (emulated) by one 
degree 4 Diophantine equation.

What can be proved is that the whole of physics has to be explained by a 
“classical” statistics on all computations. Preliminary results shows that this 
imposed an internal quantum)like structure to arithmetic “seen from inside”, 
with “seen from inside” defined, notably, by the variant of provability, like 
the one mentioned above.
Physics should be reducible to the classical universal machine 
psychology/theology, which is itself reducible to elementary arithmetic.
