As a postulate, I'm happy to accept it for the sake of argument. And if we assume the universe is a Turing machine then sure the existence of human intelligence proves that a Turing Machine can simulate human intelligence and therefore it's computable.
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell nothing further follows. Perhaps it's correct, but it's rather dull too.
No, I am not making that claim. Not sure how you inferred that.
... by any chance, are you the author of the paper linked in this post? I am asking because I wonder if you are a philosopher by training, rather than being an actual AI researcher. If you are, I wonder if you'd heard of the essay "Newton's Flaming Laser Sword" (https://philosophynow.org/issues/46/Newtons_Flaming_Laser_Sw...)
Evidently then whatever claim it was you were making was not clear to me. I’d be obliged if you made it so. In case it’s not obvious I supposed you implied the universe is a TM on account of that was the first way it occurred to me to make sense of your claim.
Incidentally, that Newton’s laser sword monograph was interesting but philosophically rather immature. I think the author would greatly benefit from reading some pragmaticist philosophy, in particular that of C.S. Peirce. Who, by the way, was a mathematician and logician in the Frege tier. Frankly though I do share the author’s disdain for the more navel-gazing pursuits that occupy many contemporary philosophy departments.
