Something that I think needs to be answered is what physics in the supposed "real world" allow for the computer to function. Given that many of his arguments involve the fact that the laws of physics have no apparent cause, a "real world" would then have to have causal physics or randomness for these examples to support his theory. But if all of the physics of the other world are rooted in a single cause, what is it that makes that single cause result in everything else, and what then causes IT? Given that a causal universe cannot exist without guidelines like consistent physics, we must assume that a "real" world has no rules and functions under compete randomness (I could be wrong here because everything being completely being random would be a rule in and of its self, and therefore, what is the cause of said rule?). But if this is the case that there are no consistent rules in a "real" world, then how would a sufficiently stable and functioning computer form in the chaos? Would then our universe be completely unstable, and our reactions consistent by coincidence alone? This is my biggest gripe with his arguments. There cannot (seeming) be a universe without some arbitrary ruleset. If somebody can think of a way, I would be glad to hear it.
