Wolfram, Stephen. A New Kind of Science. Wolfram Media, 2002. [1]
Wikipedia:
"The thesis of A New Kind of Science (NKS) is twofold: the nature of computation must be explored experimentally, and the results of these experiments have great relevance to understanding the physical world.
[...]
[Wolfram] argues an entirely new method is needed to do so because traditional mathematics fails to meaningfully describe complex systems, and there is an upper limit to complexity in all systems."
