A Physical Review D paper on cosmological event horizons, thermodynamics, and particle creation. The companion cites it in the speculative Box 5 for the bound that everything we can ever reach holds at most about 5x10^122 bits and allows about as many irreversible operations. A world in computation therefore could not run every possible rule set.
