But then why limit it to computations?  Why not assume everything, computation or not?  Then all possible computations will still be there, emergent, but also other sequences we haven't even imagined. After all, what is "allowed by the equations" depends on rules of inference that we make up and there are alternative rules: ZF and ZFC for example or more radically look at Graham Priest's dialetheism.

Yes, I am fully in the Bruno Marchal perspective, not the standard MWI, and I’ve been clear about that for years. My recent essays only restate what I’ve consistently said: reality as the totality of computations, with physics as an emergent phenomenon. It is indeed a form of neo-Platonism, but for me it’s the only framework that coherently links physics and subjective experience.

    Why not go full Bruno Marchal?  I'm just amazed that people invest
    this kind of belief in metaphysics.  It's just neo-Platonism.
