And that illustrates the advantage of the comp theory, it gives by
construction the correct physics, without any need, for a comp
"believer" to verify it. Except, of course, that comp need to be
postulated and we must be open it is could be false. With comp, you
see, physics is approached in a radically different way. Different from
the 2300 years of Aristotelian Naturalism: comp makes us to go back to
Plato. Updtated by Godel's discoveries (and Church, Turing, etc.).
