(nods) Yes, I think EY believes that rightness can be computed as a property of physical reality, without explicit reference to other agents.

That said, I think he also believes that the specifics of that computation cannot be determined without reference to humans. I'm not 100% clear on whether he considers that a mere practical limitation or something more fundamental.
