Interesting. How does Wolfram's NKS book fit into all of this?

  It's interesting but not earthshaking level interesting and does not warrant the expanded title of 'A New Kind of Science'.

    No, I actually read the book, so I know what it is. What I meant was how the book fits into the timeline and the authorship? On one hand it's largely about rule 110, which was Cook's finding, but in the other Wolfram said he was working on it for 10 years.

      When Wolfram said he was working on it for >10 years, he meant that his minions (with signed NDAs that prevented even acknowledging the existence of a proof for rule 110) had been working on the research for >10 years. He did, however, work on writing the book. I read it, too. Didn't enjoy it at all.
