If this finding is correct, essentially that the universe is wavefunctions, one consequence would be that we'd have to re-examine what we think of as computing.

Classic computers model the universe as a collection of discreet states that interact in deterministic ways. There is no ambiguity in the parameter values or operations of ADD 1,1, or JNZ. If the universe is comprised of non-deterministic wave functions, we would be able to express both parameter values and operations as functions on input, and only collapse the answer when we needed it. Realizing a computer that works this way has been the dream of quantum computer people for decades, but they've been focused on the micro (sub)atomic level.

Instead of using atoms, what if we instantiated a wavefunction computer out something else that does waves, such as a tank of water like those used for tsunami simulations. The 1+1 operation could easily be expressed as the sum of two standing waves, but would yield values (-1,1), and JNZ would be a feedback into the generator of the functions depending on the depths of water at a given series of moments. 

Execution speed might be somewhat weak to start.
