No, the theory is that all possible computations (the UD) exist
and they instantiate all conscious thoughts, including those we
call perception of an external reality. There isn't anymore to
reality; it's just the statistical regularities among the
different threads of the UD. At least that's Bruno's idea.

There could be *UD-computing* that is being executed by the brain. One
can't rule this out a priori.
I just say if so, it is being executed in a material substrate - *the
brain!*
There is no heavenly realm where UD-computing is churning away.
The question is whether there is a realm consisting of arithmetic.
