Minor nit: The alien computer is a specific set of physical laws, which shouldn’t be confused with the general case of physics/mathematics, so we only managed to reverse engineer it for 1 universe.
Cute :). Do you mean that we’ve only engineered the alien computer running a single program (the standard model with our universe’s particular coupling constants), or something else?

but more importantly I was focused on the fact that all plausible future efforts will only reverse engineered the alien computer that runs a single program, which is essentially the analogue of the laws of physics for our physical universe.

Yes, I was talking about this:
