I am stating a fact: anything that can be described by a mathematical formula is a computer.
This is what I mean by the word.
My coffee mug is blue.That's a property of the mug.It doesn't need "encoding".

Either electron energy levels or the size of physical structures on the cup's surface

Why are you calling this an "encoding"?
I mean the structure of the atom must be something the photon can read.
This is why I say the Universe is a computer
There is a way of telling if you are spinning along with a bucket of water or if the bucket is stationary and you are spinning. Thus an absolute rest frame exists.
