Ah! I am glad you see my argument is a redundancy argument. If comp is
true we cannot rely on the hypothesis of primary matter to explain even
just the physical laws (not to talk on consciousness).

the same as the ontological status of the number 5. Peano Arithmetic
can prove the existence of the UD.

Actually an instantiation of the UD exists in the "material world" too
(as far as the material world exists of course). The UD is just a
prgram. You can see its code here:
