There are physical systems with the following property: depending on how you choose to measure the system and how you choose to process your measurements, the system can appear to be any computational system you like.

Even a particularly simple system such as a spinning disk that is painted half white ("1") and half black ("0"), where what we observe is a string of 0's and 1's corresponding to the colors, can have this property.
