>Considering that everything in the universe is the product of some computation

This is not necessarily true. If you drop a ball it's impossible to calculate how long it takes before it hits need ground. We can calculate an approximation by creating a model, but there is no way to know if that model matches reality.

What I am saying is that the universe is literally performing the computation.

What you're describing is humans' attempt at modelling this computation using simple formulas.
