I think we're still talking past each other. You're talking about the state being a "result of an execution". But you don't need the execution! All of our observations are part of the function. You only need to execute it if you want to find out what is inside it from outside. For anyone inside the universe, your experience is the same regardless of whether or not the function is evaluated. In fact it is impossible to determine whether or not the function has been evaluated. That would be like a sum that gives a different answer when you evaluate it compared to when you just think about it.
