The argument of this paper rests on the proposition established in Paper I [meskanen2001], which we summarise here for completeness.
Corollary (Representational equivalence). The geometric description of a physical process and the computational description of its simulation are two representations of the same informational structure, with neither being more fundamental.
The representational equivalence is what licenses the approach of this paper. When the geometric description fails — as it does at the singularity — the computational description remains well-defined, and its properties can be read back as properties of the geometry.
