As I've already pointed out to another infinite set atheist, you could get the appearance of a continuous wavefunction without actually requiring infinite computing power to simulate it. All you need to do is make the simulation lazy - add more trailing digits in a just-in-time fashion.
Whether or not that counts as complicating the rules for the purpose of solomonoff induction is.. hard to say.
Furthermore, a "continuous" function could very well contain a finite amount of information, provided it's frequency range is limited. But then, it wouldn't be "actually" continuous.
I just didn't want to complicate things by mentioning Shannon.
