We live in a universe big enough to run a piece of the UD*, sure. To run
the whole (infinite) UD*, though, the universe should expand infinitely
with infinite creation of space/time, probably energy and all this in a
very robust way to keep track of the computations.

Not only that is not obvious to infer from observations, but if comp is
correct that is absolutely undecidable.

Of course LITTLENESS is the opposite of the everything or the plenitude
hypothesis.

I'm going to Dubrovnik now, so I'm not here for the next two weeks,
