I thought you said you get a proof that YD is false. (Confirmed by my 
looking at your posts).
This would have invalidate the Universal Dovetailer Argument (but not 
its arithmetical translation as I explained before).
Now you are saying  that YD is just inconsistent with QM. This is a far 
much weaker statement,  which would not refute anything at all. On the 
contrary, given that my UDA-point says that comp entails verifiable 
physical statements (a whole comp-phys). And for me it is still an open 
problem if comp-phys is compatible with QM or not, or is even equal to 
QM or not.
Actually, if you read my thesis you will see that I arrive at a point 
where I conclude that comp (thus YD) seems to be  in contradiction with 
QM, because it gives a priori much more relative computational 
continuations than QM (the white rabbit problem), but then I explain 
that computer science and incompleteness phenomena force us to add many 
nuances, and this is what has lead me to make a  complete translation 
of UDA in arithmetic.
So, this means you could just be *in advance* of my thesis! That would 
still be very  interesting of course, so, please make your point.
Ah yes you want to make it only if it demolishes the whole of a thesis 
that you admitted not having read (I don't understand at all why you 
don't want to give a (perhaps interesting) argument unless it refutes a 
thesis that you admitted not having read).
Please make your point, we can still discussed its impact after, isn't 
it?
