My opinion here is that you should (re)read the FOR book. We do have
empirical reasons (quantum mechanics) that "physical reality" is the
result of interfering computable waves.
Now, why comp makes this necessary (not just empirically inferable) is
what I try to explain to the list since sometime (and that relies in
fine on some not so well known results in theoretical computer
science). I can only ask you to read carefully either old posts, or my
papers, or to follow carefully futures explanations.
