You are defining a 'real computer' in terms in terms that you are smuggling in from our real world of physics. In a Church-Turing Matrix, why would there be any kind of arbitrary level separation? The whole point is that there is no fundamental difference between one Turing emulation and another.

No, you can. I can log into the root level on a hardware node - pick a virtual machine on that node and log into it, open up a remote desktop there and log back into the hardware node that the VM box is on if I want. I can reboot the hardware machine from any nested level within the node. There doesn't need to be an interface at all. They are all running on the same physical hardware node.
