This is consistent with Digital Mechanism, and plausibly mandatory too. The computations evolves discretly, vertically in the universal computational deployment (the tiny sigma_1 arithmetic), but the first person indeterminacy is horizontal and takes into account infinitely many computations. But the precise topology and cardinality remains open problems.
