UDA, Am I missing something?

Bruno,

After reading your Universal Dovetailer Argument (UDA) and I?d like to 
give you my reaction.  It seems to me that the trick is hidden in your 
assumptions.  I think you?ve even stated that before (using ?embedded? 
rather than ?hidden?), referring especially to comp.  But I?d say that 
the trick is hidden in your assumptions about the universe or ?physical 
reality?.  It is the assumption that ?physical reality? is limited to 
what we can imagine (?communicable physical laws?, with emphasis on 
communicable) and sense (?incommunicable physical knowledge?) it to be, 
i.e. in our conscious brains.  This is stated in your definition of 
?Fundamental Physics? as being ?the correct-by-definition discourse 
about observable and verifiable anticipation of possible relatively 
evolving quantities and/or qualities.?

So if A=?physical reality? and B=?consciousness?, then the assumption 
is A=B.  It seems that the rest is extraneous because with A=B you?ve 
already practically reached your conclusion, even without comp.  Am I 
missing something?
