There are a lot of things in the universe that are not computable.

Do you mean like ghosts or like quantum randomness and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle?

We cannot compute exactly what happens because we don't know what it is, and there's randomness. Superdeterminism is a common cop out to this. However, when I am talking about whether something is computable, I mean whether that interaction produces a result that is more complicated than a turing complete computer can produce. If it's random, it can't be predicted. So perhaps a more precise statement would be, my default assumption is that "similar" enough realities or sequences of events can be computed, given access to randomness, where "similar" is defined by an ability to distinguish this similulation from reality by any means.
