Even if there is an infinite scale, wouldnt it be computational given infinite amount of time/energy. I.e each step itself is still a computational process.

Suppose that infinitely many independent laws are active simultaneously in some region of spacetime. Then we can perform as many computational steps as we want, but our simulation will never proceed: it will just get bogged down in law after law for all eternity, assuming we have some way to enumerate them in the first place.
