This works, but without taking the induction on all computations, and taking into account the difference between the modes, you will still miss the mind-body, actually the mind-bodies relation, and the distinction between quanta and qualia (quanta are the first person plural qualia). The theology of the universal machine is mainly a theory of consciousness/qualia, and it is testable through its quanta part. I use the more general theory of Case and Smith, but Solomonoff fits well in that setting.
