You confuse again I'm afraid the difference between objective idealism
(platonism) and subjective idealism (solipsism). It is different to say
that"reality is a video game/dream, and I am the only player/dreamer,
and to say that reality is a video game with arise from the overlap of
the dream made the many possible first persons. Those are quite
opposite notions.

I guess you know that the sum of the 100 first odd numbers is 100^2.
If you really believe there is world where such a proposition is
false, then I would agree that the comp-physics could be different
there for the machines living in that world. I don't think so.
I have already explain why even in our world the physics must be the
same for machines, angels, and some first gods. Higher gods have a more
constrained form of physics (they are less free than us).
Super...supergods begin to have rather trivial physics, and the one
behind all the gods, if it exists at all, has no physics at all ...

The substantial world is the cat. I would say.
