Those are the properties of the "god" of computationalism: arithmetical truth
So you're choosing the attributes of goar to match the theory of comp? Well I guess
that's one way to know what goar is - and a popular way at that.

If you're not going to jump to conclusions, carrying baggage with you,
let's just
call it goar. And I would remind you that there is not necessarily a goar.
There is a reality, for which various theories attempt to offer an explaination
of.
But the ground of all reality, goar, isn't necessarily transcendent, infinite, etc... or
even singular. If this is science and not religion we must find out what goar is and its
attributes - not assume them at the start.
