Are you OK that such a 270 digits number is prime or not prime?
Are you OK that all natural numbers are either prime or not prime?
To believe in the necessity of a primary physical universe, is
equivalent, for a computationalist, with picking one universal number,
and stating that it is the real one.
With comp, if that is the real one, we have still to justify it by
showing that it is the only one given the right measure with respect
to the mind-body measure problem. If not, that Universe is just a
fairy tale explaining nothing at all, and putting the mind-body
problem under the rug. It is like ignoring the (comp) mind-body problem.

Tell me this, is the following (270 digit) number prime:
332694894848329434549105787414873502606112802712440024745636803095039036420080826797726325643727533347094562684200739500429461145303257192536463211027218435305302565244506232330240506160052373297550819467601665370364223791626506805746132690937677414
846877090853919880937
Either it is or it isn't. If it is, then this is no different from
the case of 17 being prime (even if the universe had only 16 objects).
