No problem. I see you assume a physical universe. I don't. We have just
different theories.
Note that if you understand the whole UDA, you should realize that the
price of assuming a physical universe (and wanting it to be related
with our experiences *and* our experiments) is to postulate that you
(and us, if you are not solipsistic) are not turing emulable. No
problem.
(I like to separate issues concerning the choice of theory, and issues
concerning propositions made *in* a theory, or accepting that theory).
