Ok but as this could be done on classical machine an order of
magnitude slower I don't see how it is relevant.

I don't understand what you mean here ?

I'm sorry but here too.

If UDA is not valid, you don't get the contradiction (I'm not saying
the argument (UDA) is invalid, I'm saying that you could not deduce
the contradiction if UDA is invalid because the contradiction only
arises if UDA is valid). If you come up with a computable theory of
reality, either UDA is invalid or the computable theory of reality is
invalid. But you can't use UDA to say the computable theory of reality
is invalid if UDA is invalid.

I'm ok with that... but obvious I couldn't say it is, there could be
rules which restrict to something vastly smaller than arithmetical
truth... not that I believe it.

No, not in all circumstance, only if UDA is valid.
