It helps me to understand non reductable alternative world better, but i think that computer program is also reductable, not to elementary particles, but to object properties and scripts, and then to bytes and bits
The anti reductionist claim is not that the universe is literally a programme, it is that it is analogous to a programme with with rules that latch onto higher level structures being analogous to nonreductive physical laws.
I am sorry, I did not express myself accurately enough, I just do not know a term that could briefly indicate “something similar to a computer program, but not necessarily created by an intelligent developer or even existing in an analogue of a computer; something that may be an alternative physical law”, so I wrote simply “computer program”, because I don’t know what else could be an alternative to elementary particles and the universal physical law.
