I don't believe that universes are programs. If comp is true, first person
universes emerges from the "running" of infinities of programs.
Universes are first person plural (sharable) anticipations on infinitely
many computations.

Indeterminacy, form of non locality, and (more general a priori)
interferences appear eventually in the possible (consistent)
discourses of (collection) of machines anticipating their most probable
relative computational histories. For example, interference *appears* when
machine cannot distinguish histories which -diverge below their comp
level of substitution, and -converge above. (Compare with the two slits).

Would experiments confirms 't Hooft, my work shows only that this
would falsify comp.
and most probably QM (which could follow from comp). I have no
problems with that.
("sets of interfering observable and rememorable histories" is a
consequence of comp).

Open problem; showing those interference behaves like waves. (A logical clue
is my 1994 result showing that the arithmatical (godelian) "measure
one" on those
histories follows a non trivial sort of quantum logic).
