Not saying you're wrong in the slightest, but why would our universe be like a computer? When our understanding of the universe was very primitive we thought everything was alive (animism). Then a little more technology and we thought the universe was like an orrery or a clock (mechanism)[0]. Then a little more and we think it was like a computer (turingism?) Occasionally you'll hear it's like a hologram, a simulation (what's it simulating?), a graph [1], or some other faddish concept. We just like to make metaphors to put this thing in a box that we can't understand. But perhaps at its most fundamental level it will defy comprehension or even definition.
