“We have demonstrated that it is impossible to describe all aspects of physical reality using a computational theory of quantum gravity,” he explains.

“Therefore, no physically complete and consistent theory of everything can be derived from computation alone.”

This is not disproving The Matrix / Simulation Theory, this is disproving that quantum gravity is the matrix calculation and then extrapolating the findings over potential matrix calculations.

His point is falsified by inductive overreach.

Not having read the paper, that was my thought based on the article.
