Hmmm.... I don't want to spoil the movie either ... Have you study the
Universal Dovetailer Argument, or just the third key step?

Note that from a purely strict logical point of view you don't need
comp but a weakening of it. But the comp hyp makes something (in the
movie) possible and even "real", and even already "real" in a sense
made explicit in the movie.

Perhaps I will say more later, when more people (of the list) will have
seen the movie.
