My only fussy critique, might be to add-in, where this story takes place.
Does it fit in the physical universe of the 20th and 21st centuries? Some
sort of conjoined hyperspace, or all in computer-space, inside a neutron or
neutron star?
Hence type 1 and type 2 universes, and farmed stars might also be
computational structures existing only in the abstarct? Great story though
(I am picky)."
Thanks for the comments!
The cosmology is hypothetical, i.e. fiction, although drawing on some
commentators' speculations. It envisages utilizing the dark matter
(wavepackets) and galactic black holes (the large ones at many galactic
centres) as engineering circuits and engines for cosmological reworkings,
virtual reality and memory storage. So no, these are not internal, virtual
computational structures although these are discussed and envisaged in the
context of virtualities.
