I think the next logical step in this train of thought[1] is to discard the idea that there’s a privileged “real world” at all. Rather, from the perspective of an agent, there is simply sensory input and the decisions you make. There is no fact of the matter about which of the infinitely many possible embeddings of your algorithm in various mathematical structures is “the real one”. Instead you can make decisions on the basis of which parts of mathematical reality you care about the most and want to have influence over.

which I don’t necessarily fully endorse. But it is interesting!
