Yeah, I think I model that anything which does understanding of physics is to some extent ‘beyond physics’, because you’re translating from a raw file format to high level picture, and that’s taking computation. Reading from the homomorphic one isn’t an entirely new step, as opposed to the ‘straightforward’ one, it’s just a much more difficult function in the place a usually simple function goes.
Or to take another shot: Yes to “there is a way to construct an omniscient perspective, it just isn’t going to be straightforwardly derivable from the physical state”
However, I see ‘straightforwardly’ → ‘computationally intractable’ as a difficulty jump for extracting high level features. It’s a ~quantitive step up in the difficulty of an existing step of universe-parsing, not a novel step with strong metaphysical surprise.
Or to put it even more succinctly; if your omniscience isn’t computationally unbounded omniscience, yeah, you’re not going to be able to perceive things behind intractable computational boundaries. Omniscience is only as good as the perceiver.
