This is a very mechanic-ist way of looking at things.

  Yes, which seems to be the way the universe works. Duality is a religious belief.

    As far as I know we haven't figured it out how the universe works, hence the unified theory debacle and all that.

  Sure, and we have pretty good evidence of the mechanistic operation of the universe from quantum mechanics up, and we haven’t found any evidence of anything outside of that. So, to date, a mechanistic view of the universe seems like one that is the most supported be evidence at the moment. Have we ruled out meta-physics or some kind of duality? No, of course we haven’t. As long as there’s unknown physics, it’s a possibility. But I think if you’re reasoning based on the evidence we’ve been able to collect to date, then you should absolutely favor a mechanistic universe to a dual universe.
