Yes. (Number law) => (computer law) => (mind law) => (physical law)
roughly speaking.

No. Actually most consistent continuations have white rabbits,
and white noise.
I am still open that the "little" program, if it exists is any QUD,
i.e. any Quantum Universal Dovetailer. Not because it generates
less white rabbits, but because it generates *much more* white rabbits!
The reason is that it generates also much more -anti white rabbits-
so that there are eliminated in the average. But even this "idea" I
feel it necessary to deduce it from the "universal" interview.
(look at my post to Georges Levy containing a partial technical
result in that direction which gives the embryo of the reason why
"point of views makes angles",
and why interference of the "probabilities" are possibly necessary
