@The_Lagrangian that's assuming boltzmann brains run on matter
but it doesn't matter either way if you buy egan's dust hypothesis

@The_Lagrangian anything that can give rise to computation in its interactions (how many layers can we fit below quarks?)

I am here using matter in a generalized sense to refer to any excitations of quantum fields

@The_Lagrangian ah yes that should about include everything within this universe
I'm fond of the idea that [epistemic status: experimental]

@The_Lagrangian computation steps do not need to "happen" physically but Exist as mathematical relations in the platonic realm

@The_Lagrangian so if you buy that, the idea of the platonic realm, and the simulation and dust hypotheses, there's your universe origin
