Sounds very similar to what my brain has been doing since I learned about UDT.
One problem is that a bitstring describing a quantum wave function of a bunch of particle making up a piece of memory substrate containing a bitstring looks nothing like that bitstring.
There is however a relatively short program transforming one into the other.
I severely doubt that. I'd not be surprised if more data was needed to specify how to find and interpret the memory in the universe than to specify both the universe and the content you're after together in many cases.
if you doubt this, download/run GOLLY , open the ready made patter with a computer in conways game of life, run it for a random while, and try to extract the contents of the computers memory using an hex editor.
I was referring to the literal interpretation of a universe consisting of just the substrate with the data. Reconsidering, that is a pretty useless interpretation given the context.
