Although, I wonder if we can then just say the bottom level is Tegmark's Level 4 Multiverse and get rid of any actual machine or such at the lowest level. :)

Tegmark's Level 4 doesn't answer the question of how much weight each experience has. It's a similar problem to asking where do the Born probabilities come from.

Well, it doesn't seem to me that it'd be any more confusing than "turing machine running the program of all programs" as far as difficulty of reasoning about weights.
