Even if someone have said that "Universe is supercomputer", it doesn't mean that it is actually a case.
A lot of silliness have after all been said but by no means proven.
You gave an example of such a thing.
Other examples are Multiverse, String theories, cosmic inflation era, singularities inside BH and many similar concepts.
So I do not say that Universe is definitely not a supercomputer, but such claim is rather extraordinary and a burden of proof is sqarely on the claimant.
And even if it *is* supercomputer, the area within our cosmic horizon would be far too small to even *represent*, let alone factorize Graham's number.
Obviously it is of no use to consider any parts outside of our cosmic horizon as any communication with such areas would need to be FTL, hence impossible (yet another impossibility btw).
So returning to the area within our cosmic horizon (approx. 91 billions of light years across).
Assuming that we divided this volume in Planck volumes, which are the smallest possible voulmes, the resulting number would be just a very very tiny comparing to Graham number. Actually negligably small.
So if you cannot even represent, forget about computing.
We go into certain philosophical conundrum dealing with a *fact* that an *abstract* world is unbelivably vast, actually infinite but a physical one is an extremely restricted by laws of Nature.
Hence most of possibilities are unattainable in physical world, even if theoretically possible in an abstract one.
You may also find out that even in abstract world, which is arbitrary vast there are defined concepts which are entirely undecidable (and actually proven to be undecidable).
You may research for example issues related to *halting problem* and so called *busy beaver function* associated with it.

Line 01 : You cannot prove what is not provablehttps://math.stackexchange.com/question ... -be-provedIn fact, Gödel proved in 1931 that for any formal system rich enough to intepret Peano arithmetic, there is a proposition that cannot be proven or refuted in that system. Moreover his proof is constructive: for any system you devise that includes natural number arithmetic as we know it, I can give you a specific proposition that is undecidable in that system.
We humans have built "human supercomputer" what are we?- Yes part of the Universe or a simulation of infinit Universe simulations ?
The C64 computer is now a simulation on a x86 personal computer which is reality?
In our Universe created by human brains<=>computers.=> Proof: Turing chess machine
Now we cracked our binary code and will soon be able to upload us on other platforms or upload a "code" into our brain.
