If I would describe my own perspective, it is basically a finitist version of the Church Turing thesis as the fundamental law, and you can derive physics by generating all universe states and recovering the universe that must contain us as a thread by following its memories.

It took three readings of BOI and then Fabric for me to start to get comfortable. IMO BOI is best non-fiction book of this century altho much is restatement. He is currently our best philosopher. You NEED to know the project (a compliment).
