My comment there:
<<
Why to assume even one universe? We know since the 1930s that all
models of elementary arithmetic execute all computations, and that no
universal machine can know which computations support it, and indeed
that if the machine looks below at itself (and environment) its
Mechanist Substitution level, she has to see the statistical impact of
the "parallel computation". The only problem is that the wave itself
must be explained by the logics of machine self-reference mathematics,
and that is what I did (already in the 1970s, but I took it as an
argument against Mechanism, as I was not aware that the physicists
were already there. The advantage is a simpler "theory of everything"
(elementary arithmetic or Turing equivalent), but also that we get
very naturally the qualia/quanta distinctions. This if unfortunately
not well known, and of course physicalist or materialist philosophers
hate this, as physics become reducible to pure arithmetic/computer
science.

We do have evidence for a physical reality, but we don’t have any
evidence that the physical reality if the fundamental reality, and I
can argue that we have a lot of evidence that the fundamental reality
is not physical, but arithmetical. We have even a proof once we assume
the (indexical and digital) Mechanist hypothesis in the cognitive
science (not in the physical science).
Whatever explains every possibility, fails to explain anything at all.
