Yep. Gary Drescher in Good and Real makes the point that there’s no inherent difference between the real universe and other mathematically possible universes (essentially Tegmark’s MUH, but put in a more comprehensible (for me at least) way), and “real” is just a deictic, meaning ‘contained in the universe the speaker is in’. (But if we found that the Kolgomorov complexity of this universe is much larger than what would suffice for sentient beings to arise in it, that might mean that there’s something else that makes this universe real other than the fact that we are in it.)
