This is going to be crude, but if I understand what Bruno( and others) are saying, there is no Physics or physical universe. There is a (are) large computer program(s) running, some segment of which exhibits consciousness? Does that crudely imply that everything I sense could be considered a

Bruno: We may be talking different thing but the TOE for Physics does not exist yet. I would think it would be QM and General Relativity and other things we do not know. Could this program be running an evolving mathematical structure or maybe you prefer evolving block universe/multiverse?

Bruno: I am uncertain that this was answered. You are starting with mathematics, and going to some Multiversal computation program? If there is no physical universe, what does the computer run on? With no energy, how are your thoughts being generated?
